Yorghaki Yacoub (born 3 May 1999), known professionally as Yorghaki, is a Venezuelan singer-songwriter of the reggaeton and afrobeat genres.[1] In 2025, Alleh & Yorghaki were nominated for the 2025 Premios Juventud to be held in Panama.[2][3]

Early years of life

Yorghaki was born in Valencia and grew up in Las Mercedes. Born to a Syrian father, he began writing music at age 14. He attended Full Sail University, in Orlando, Florida.[4] His stage name comes from his father's initials.[further explanation needed] From a young age, he became interested in traditional Colombian music, which led him to write his first song, "La Primera Vez," which was released in a video on his YouTube account in 2017.[5]

Musical career

In 2017, he released his first song, "La Primera Vez." This allowed him to meet other established artists in the genre and release music regularly.[6] In 2022, Yorghaki released his first single with Warner Music Latina called "inigualable" in collaboration with Aloisio.[7]

In 2024, he released his first international hits with Afrobeat-style songs. His album "La ciudad" featured singles like "Capaz," which charted on global playlists.[8] He participated as a producer and composer on the singles "Pa que te rías" and "Frío," without receiving support from record labels.[9] Later, the duo Alleh & Yorghaki was formed. In January 2025, they earned a platinum record in Spain for their single "Capaz (merenguetón)".[10][11][12] debuted on the US Billboard charts. The song peaked at number 46 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.[13]
