With her melodious voice and a message that inspires, singer-songwriter NelliYAH is on a mission to spread the Basurah—the good news of salvation and redemption through Yahusha Ha Mashyach—using the power of music. Her rich blend of gospel, R&B, neo-soul, and jazz creates a genre-defying sound that uplifts our Heavenly Father, Yahuah, through Yahusha Ha Mashyach in spirit and truth. Whether she is pouring her heart into stirring ballads or delivering smooth melodies that soothe the soul, NelliYAH honors Yahuah through Yahusha Ha Mashyach with the music He inspires in her, one song at a time.

“Yahusha is my love song; I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Him,” says NelliYah. When asked why she uses the names Yahuah and Yahusha, she responds, “I’m excited to share my thoughts on this because, in Abary/Hebrew culture, names hold significant meaning. They embody unique character traits. Yahusha came in His Father’s name (Yahuchanan/John 5:43), and His Father’s name is Yahuah, which means ‘self-existing one’ or ‘eternal one.’

In the ancient Abary/Hebrew language, each pictograph in Yahuah’s name can be interpreted as ‘Hand, Behold, Stake/Nail, Behold’ (when reading the pictograph from left to right). His name provides us with prophetic insight into His descent to Earth and His atonement for our sins through His death, burial, and resurrection (YashaYahu/Isaiah 53, MatathYahu/Matthew 28). Yahusha means ‘Yahuah is salvation.’ It also conveys the meaning ‘I AM HE who avenges, defends, delivers, helps, preserves, rescues, saves, and brings salvation—your Savior who grants you victory.’

So, every time we call His name, we’re not just using a name to identify Him; we are declaring the One who delivers us in every sense of the word, the One who gives us victory! HalaluYAH!

Once I understood this, I chose to refer to our Heavenly Father (who the world commonly knows as Jesus) by His actual name, His Hebrew name, because there is power, deliverance, and truth in His name. My mission is to esteem His name and to encourage, inspire, and uplift others, all while honoring our Creator through song. I pray that the music Yahuah has given me baraks (blesses) all who hear it and draws them closer to our Creator.”

Let the word of Mashyach dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with His divine influence in your hearts, with joy to Yahuah. Colossians 3:16
