Six of Ye's albums were included on Rolling Stone's 2020 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list with the same publication naming him one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. He holds the joint record (with Bob Dylan) for most albums (4) topping the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll. TIME named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015. As a fashion designer, he has collaborated with Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gap, and A.P.C. on clothing and footwear and led the Yeezy collaboration with Adidas. He is also the founder and head of the creative content company Donda.

Hire Ye for your festival or concert plans.

He is the new sound, style and culture of today's hip-hop. Blessed with a creative passion set aside for a chosen few, the producer/rapper has a gift so powerfully instinctive that it is as natural to him as the air he breathes. Ye exudes this gift through his being and becomes it. This is the intensity for which he reveres his emotion for life, the people in his corner, and of course his music.

He got his start in the third grade when he discovered his passion, writing and rhyming. He progressed and began making beats when most kids were still playing hide and seek on the playground. His favorite past time became an occupational goal as a teenager when he came across NO I.D., a Chicago beat mastering producer who at the time produced an up-and-coming rapper who at the time went by the name Common Sense (now Common).

This was a chance encounter that would become the pivotal opportunity to shape his future career in music. NO I.D. encouraged Ye to sample from soulful old school hits and revive them with a new school flavor. In a MTV interview, Ye explains, "NO I.D. told me 'you need to sample off records' when I found that out, it was all over."

Ye was signed to ROC-A-FELLA in 2002; the reality of a fathomable vision finally came in to view. Several big name labels had courted him at the time, including Cash Money Millionaires, but the "R-O-C" had the stepping-stone he needed. Rather than just having his wildest dream come true, Ye saw this as a calculated step to achieve the goals he had implemented for himself. "I am always confident in myself that what I put my all in, I could do it," he tells an MTV reporter.

This is also the unwavering confidence he fiercely brings into the ring to fight for an MC heavyweight title. This direction was put on the backburner for while, but he always intended to step into the studio as an artist once his career as a producer took off. His focus is to establish himself as a dynamic one man, bringing the rhymes and the rhythm with innovation and originality.

Hire Ye for your special event or occasion.

At this stage in the game, Ye is taking everything in stride. With the support of his inner circle and his self-derived ambition, he is geared up to learn his lessons and perfect his craft for the masses, proving that someone named Ye can make heads bounce from coast to coast.

Hip-hop artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and Chance the Rapper have acknowledged being influenced by Ye. Several other artists and music groups of various genres have named Ye as an influence on their work.

In 2022, he performed at Coachella along with others including Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, Phoebe Bridgers, Giveon, Madeon, Disclosure, Doja Cat, Ari Lennox, Flume, Anitta, Brockhampton, Koffee, Karol G, Run the Jewels, and Black Coffee.

His musical career is defined by frequent stylistic shifts and different musical approaches. In the subsequent years since his debut, Ye has both musically and lyrically taken an increasingly experimental approach to crafting progressive hip-hop music while maintaining accessible pop sensibilities.

His discography includes 10 studio albums, two collaborative studio albums, one compilation album, one demo album, two live albums, one video album and six mixtapes, 38 singles, four promotional singles and charted with 65 other songs.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE Ye?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire Ye for an event?)
(i.e., what is Ye booking fee to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
