Vevo's LIFT initiative connects today's up-and-coming artists to audiences around the globe through video content.

Vevo LIFT alumni include the likes of Sam Smith, Halsey, Khalid, Jorja Smith, SZA, Julia Michaels, Billie Eilish and CNCO.

Born Osiris Williams, YK Osiris grew up with a passion for old-school soul, classic R&B, modern pop and rap sounds, and started making music of his own at a young age. In 2017 he first uploaded his single "Fake Love" before dropping "I'm Next (Freestyle) in January of 2018, the latter of which went viral and collected millions of streams. His next single, "Valentine," amassed over nine million streams within the first several weeks of release, and is now certified GOLD. Shortly thereafter, he signed with Def Jam and dropped "Timing." In November 2018, YK was named a Vevo DSCVR artist, and the buzz around continued to draw attention in the industry.

2019 saw the release of "Worth It," which went PLATINUM and scored Osiris his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Co-signs from Drake and Chris Brown followed, as well as a spot in XXL's 2019 Freshman Class. To date, he's released five songs that have amassed 500 million global streams.
