01 / The person behind the presence

A cross-cultural
perspective.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Oakland and San Jose, California, from the age of two, Yabkale grew up between cultures. His professional journey spans more than a decade in nightlife and hospitality, early recognition as an Ethiopian digital creator, and experience building within Ethiopia’s contemporary entertainment market.

His early comedy skits and social content helped establish public recognition. He later carried that understanding of audience, culture and entertainment into hospitality, event marketing and nightlife.
