Born Adokiye Yvonne Kyrian to a staunch Roman Catholic Okirika family in Rivers State, Nigeria "ADOKIYE" as she is widely known is a singer and song writer whose musical style is deep rooted in the Afro-fusion genre of music.  The Caritas University graduate of architecture started her musical journey at an early age, influenced by music icons such as Onyeka Onwenu, Aretha Franklin, King Sunny Ade, Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley. During her university days she was a member of a minor musical group called the “MASE” comprising of four young talents whose first name alphabets were coined to get the name "MASE". Her exploits with the group contributed in exposing and sharpening her musical skills to a great extent which saw her gearing towards professional singing.With her huge hunger for producing good music, she believes that through hard work and dedication she would some day be rated as one of the best African exports in music.
