Francesco Yates - Call

Francesco is an eighteen year-old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto, Canada. His musical influences range from classic rock legends such as Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin & Freddie Mercury of Queen to timeless soul powerhouses, Donny Hathaway & Stevie Wonder. On his debut album he has enlisted the help of heavy-hitting producers Pharrell Williams and Robin Hannibal of Rye/Quadron (Kendrick Lamar, B.O.B.).

Francesco has most recently been featured on Pharrell’s G I R L album, playing guitar on “Gust of Wind (featuring Daft Punk)” and is ready to make some noise in the game on his own with his infectious single, “Call.” The video for “Call” mixes haunting vignettes of a beautiful woman with dynamic performance set ups with Francesco. "Call" is produced by Robin Hannibal and written by Francesco Yates and Matt Morris. The video is directed by DJay Brawner.
