Eve Makilya
Yvonne's (Eve’s) musical background began in Kenya, Eastern Africa. One may attribute her interest in music to her Grandmother, who was the head of the Kangundo Christian choir in Kangundo, Kenya. Having being born with a natural propensity for music, her Grandmother’s influence was just an additional aspect.
Yvonne (Eve) took an interest in music at a very early age and began formal music classes, which were taught in the Kenyan/British curriculum from age 7. Her participation in school choirs and acappella groups assisted in her musical growth and educational pursuits. She later took on piano, violin and guitar and also studied at the Kenya Conservatoire of Music.
After re-locating to the United States, Yvonne (Eve) wrote and recorded music in both the Swahili and English languages under her record label, Yvonne Makilya. All 28 self-written songs can be found on Amazon and iTunes. She has also participated as a principal pianist at an African-American and African church both in Lynn MA and Quincy MA and currently as a Jazz and classical pianist in solo engagements and ensembles. In addition, Eve is a Classical and Jazz trained vocalist and pianist, currently performing at many banquets as well as churches and other venues.
In addition to her Nursing degree and minor in Biology, she has a Bachelors of Arts in music. Eve continues to attend the Cape Cod conservatory as a life long student of music elegance. During her studies she has enjoyed numerous performances both as a solo performance, band member and soprano vocalist in women’s choirs and mixed choirs. She is currently a composer, song writer, and music theorist. She enjoys teaching and performing music and participating /celebrating the growth of other musicians.
Music Mentors: Dr. Gary Wood, Dr..Sanae Kanda, Dr. Phil Swanson, Dr. Beverly Soll, Holly Zagaria, Tiffany Baxter, Dr. Dirk Hillyer, Felix Mwangi and Mark Goncalves.
