She hopes fans will find encouragement in love through her music. “The right person is waiting out there and they are going to be so glad you waited for them instead of settling,” says Yaniza. This new romantic era for Yaniza is exciting as it unlocks a new level to her songwriting and depths of lyrical messages. Fans are sure to feel an immediate connection to the singer’s experiences and find support in her vulnerability.
