Yelka is an Australian acoustic folk musician.In 2008, Yelka became the only soloist to date to reach the finals of the fifteen-year-old statewide Push Start battle of the bands competition, which landed her with the Push Start APRA Song Writer's award. Following this delightful win, Yelka enamored audiences and judges alike at The 2008 Queenscliff Music Festival’s Foot In The Door competition, picking up first prize in the Acoustic category. 2009 has seen Yelka support artists at The Thornbury Theatre, The Northcote Social Club, and play her own packed-out headline show at Manchester Lane.

Her charmingly imperfect voice hovers gorgeously throughout minimal acoustic-based arrangements, gleaming with lyrical and instrumental hooks. Her slightly coy, yet genteel performances barely mask an artistic maturity well beyond her years.
