Yu Meï: the singer who also writes for others

Published October 20, 2026

Yu Meï, whose name the platforms also print as Yumei, is a bouyon singer from the Guadeloupe scene. Her public record is a run of short, direct singles released between 2020 and 2024, a duo with an unapologetic name, Ultimes Pétasses, a collaboration with Team Bwè Tou Sa, a notable feature on Yellow Gaza “PLAN A 3” in 2024, and a second, quieter life in the writing credits of other artists. In October 2026 she also spoke publicly, in France-Antilles, about intimate videos of her shared without her consent, refusing shame and stating that she had taken the matter to the authorities. This profile gathers those verified facts, record by record and credit by credit, and states clearly what the sources do not yet allow anyone to say.

Who Yu Meï is: one name, two spellings, a voice named in the credits

Yu Meï is a bouyon singer. That is how the two podcasts that hosted her present her, and that is how France-Antilles presents her, describing her in October 2026 as a 29 year old bouyon singer. Her documented territory is Guadeloupe: the Guadeloupe episode of the Faya podcast, recorded around Pointe-à-Pitre, counts her among its guests from the local scene, and her catalogue circulates inside the crews of Guadeloupe bouyon, from Team Bwè Tou Sa to the Yellow Gaza universe. No source consulted publishes her birthplace, so this profile invents none: what is established is her scene, not her full civil record.

Her name itself travels between two spellings. Her own single pages print Yu Meï, with the diaeresis. The Yellow Gaza single bills her as Yumei, in one word, and the Team Bwè Tou Sa clip prints YU MEI, in capitals. It is the same artist: the writing credits connect the forms, since the same writer name returns under each spelling, record after record. This profile writes Yu Meï, the form of her own singles, and flags the Yumei form wherever the platforms use it.

That writer name is the strongest thread in the file. On nearly all of her records, the published credits name Emmanuelle Titine as writer. The Shazam page for “Leakey” goes further: it credits Emmanuelle Titine on vocals, as the performing voice of the record released under the name Yu Meï. On “PLAN A 3”, the same person appears in the reversed metadata order, Titine Emmanuelle, among the record three songwriters. This profile therefore presents that link for what it is: the name under which the platforms official credits name her voice and her pen, without adding a biography the sources do not give.

The rest of the public identity is thin, and that must be said. No album to date in the discographies consulted, no published artist biography on the platforms, no career interview before the one of October 2026, which was of a very different nature. Yu Meï belongs to a Guadeloupe bouyon generation that exists first through singles, clips, crews and parties, and whose archive has to be rebuilt page by page. That is exactly what the following sections do.

Ultimes Pétasses, the UP Crew and Team Bwè Tou Sa: bouyon as a crew

The first collective name attached to Yu Meï is Ultimes Pétasses. The Faya podcast credits “Eat Up” and “Pine Up” in the form Ultimes Pétasses and Yu Meï, and lists Yu Meï among its guests under that same collective name. The podcast Le Mwakast, devoted to Antillean culture, titles its episode of May 23, 2023 “YUMEI: Ultime P*tasse ???!!!” and presents her in one sentence: “Nous recevons la chanteuse de Bouyon Yumei”, we welcome bouyon singer Yumei. The Team Bwè Tou Sa clip uses the same word in its keywords. Our own page on the Faya document describes Yu Meï as a member of the duo Ultimes Pétasses. The full name of the duo other member or members was not found in the sources consulted, and this profile does not guess it.

The second circle is Team Bwè Tou Sa, the Guadeloupe crew that works like a musical family, with its producers, its in house labels and its collective records. Yu Meï appears there on “Laisse-moi passer”, credited to T-BTS with YU MEI featured. The official clip description presents the record as a 2021 bouyon, produced by CamRich, mastered by GAMMALAB and Fly Beu Records, with a video by Dylan Farah. The clip keywords add two affiliations this profile cites as clues published by the crew itself: UPCREW and UltimesPetasse, connecting her duo and her host crew in a single line.

The record later had a second life on streaming. Yu Meï Deezer discography lists “Laisse moi passer”, credited to Team Bwè Tou Sa and Yu Meï, dated October 31, 2024, running 3 minutes 06, with five names in writing and composition: Nicolas Macbeth, Ludmael Flower, Ludmilian Flower, Emmanuelle Titine and Richardson Camalique, the last being the name behind CamRich. Between the 2021 clip and the 2024 page, the same record crosses two formats of the scene: the crew video that circulates a sound through parties, then the platform page that makes it findable and creditable.

Faya gives that record a place that matters. In its episode “Voicenotes from Guadeloupe: le bouyon”, the global dancefloor podcast by Renaud Brizard, produced for Nique, la radio, Yu Meï is a guest alongside Le Cok Sportif, DJ Beaw, Tytys and Doc J. The episode published tracklist ends with three records that concern her: “Eat Up” and “Pine Up” under the name Ultimes Pétasses and Yu Meï, and “Laisse-moi passer” by T-BTS and Yu Meï. A sound documentary on Guadeloupe bouyon that closes its programme on her records says something precise: at the time of the episode, her voice was part of the current party repertoire the podcast documents, alongside the Yellow Gaza Girls and the established names of the scene.

The first singles: Eat Up, Pine Up, Dife Kako and Leakey, 2020 to 2022

Yu Meï published discography begins in 2020, and it begins fast. “Eat Up” was released on July 13, 2020, a single of 2 minutes 45, written by Emmanuelle Titine and composed by Jordan Sapotille. Two months later, on September 19, 2020, “Pine Up” followed, 1 minute 58, written by Emmanuelle Titine with Lauryn Ursulet and composed by Jordan Ramdaya. The format is that of Guadeloupe bouyon of the period: short records, built for parties and phones, sung in Antillean Creole mixed with French, as the published lyrics of “Pine Up” on Shazam show, where the Creole lines carry most of the text.

Those two first records are also the ones the Ultimes Pétasses name covers in the Faya tracklist. Read together, they draw the starting point: a singer who writes her own lyrics, a small circle of recurring composers, Jordan Sapotille and Jordan Ramdaya, and a banner that returns in the metadata, Up World, with its variants Upfull Music and Up Full Music depending on the page. Later reissues standardise part of those mentions, with copyright lines dated 2025 under Up World on the Deezer page consulted, which this profile flags instead of smoothing away: the original release dates, however, remain those of 2020 to 2024.

In 2021, “Dife Kako” was released on November 9, 2 minutes 48, on Upfull Music according to the original page, written by Emmanuelle Titine and composed again by Jordan Sapotille. The Creole title and the configuration are those of continuity: the same writer, the same composer as “Eat Up”, the same lone single format, with no album around it. It is a discography of singles in single file, typical of a scene where each record has to prove itself alone, in parties and on phones, before the next one.

“Leakey”, on January 14, 2022, is the best documented record of this first period. Shazam lists it on Up World, at 146 BPM, with Emmanuelle Titine on vocals and in the writing, Brandon Benoist as co-writer, and Jordan Sapotille as producer. Its published length on Deezer is 1 minute 20 to 1 minute 21 depending on the page, the shortest of her catalogue. The published lyrics, in Creole, confirm the raw, direct register that Faya describes as the mark of Guadeloupe bouyon of those years, a very fast music with unvarnished lyrics, made as an outlet for party youth. This profile does not quote those lyrics, which belong to listening, but it notes their language and register, because they place Yu Meï exactly where she stands in the genre: at the centre of her generation Gwada bouyon, not at its softened edge.

2023 and 2024: Youpi Ya, X, 10 sur 10 and the PLAN A 3 feature

On March 29, 2023, “Youpi Ya” was released with Anonymous G featured, 2 minutes 28 to 2 minutes 29 depending on the page. The composition credits name Jordan Sapotille, Chris-Kevy Magne and Daryl Clarisse, and the featured version credits Emmanuelle Titine and Francesca Lasserre as writers. That same spring, on April 29, 2023, “Pine Up” returned in a version with Lambi featured, still composed by Jordan Ramdaya and written by Emmanuelle Titine. Two complementary moves: opening the catalogue to guest voices, and pushing forward again the 2020 record that remains, with “Eat Up”, her most cited signature, since Faya programmes both of them.

The year 2024 concentrates her two cleanest solo singles. “X” was released on April 3, 2024 on Up World, 2 minutes 17, written by Emmanuelle Titine and composed by four names, Keywan Nerplat, Job Saül, Clerence Kédar and Stephen Anoumantou. Three weeks later, on April 24, 2024, “10 sur 10” followed on Up World, 2 minutes 31, written by Emmanuelle Titine and composed by Morgan Bourgeois. A one letter title, a perfect score title: the pair of spring 2024 singles shows an artist tightening her format, short records, concepts readable in a second, and writing still signed by the same name in the credits.

Her most exposed record, however, does not carry her name alone. “PLAN A 3 (feat. Yu Meï) [Femmes Fatales Edition Bouyon]”, by Yellow Gaza and Yumei, was released on September 7, 2024 on Vadore Concept Groupe, in French, at 157 BPM, running 2 minutes 59. Shazam credits Yellow Gaza and Yumei as performers, Meyapin Bordin Allan as composer, and three songwriters: Letin Sylia, credited here in the form Letin Sylvia, Letin Severine and Titine Emmanuelle. Yu Meï therefore sings a text written as a college, inside an edition explicitly presented as a female one, in the universe of Yellow Gaza and the Vador house. Our women of bouyon page gathers what this site documents about the place of women in the genre: this 2024 feature holds a dated, checkable place in it, on the voice side this time, and not only on the writing side.

Read in sequence, the 2023 to 2024 period shows an artist working on three fronts at once. Her solo singles on Up World, the reactivation of “Pine Up” with a guest, and the feature on Vadore Concept Groupe, in a universe different from her own. None of those moves comes with an album or a press documented campaign in the sources consulted. That is the normal working of this scene, where reputation is built record by record and crew by crew, and that is why this profile insists on credits: they, and not absent promotional narratives, are what tell her path.

The writer behind the singer: writing for Shani Da Flava and Ricky Bishop

The least visible fact in the Yu Meï file is also one of the most interesting: her writer name works for other voices. Yu Meï Deezer page lists, among the records she appears on, “SHAKE iT!” by Shani Da Flava, released on September 3, 2025 on SIDESHOW, 2 minutes 11, written by Shannon Lobel Abes and Emmanuelle Titine. The same record appears on Shani Da Flava album “TRAP SUCRÉE!”, released on September 26, 2025, where the Emmanuelle Titine writing credit is repeated. A Guadeloupe bouyon singer signing a record on another artist album, on another banner: the credit is small, dated, checkable, and it shifts her portrait. Yu Meï is not only a voice people invite, she is a pen people credit.

The second credit of the same kind connects her to Ricky Bishop. On the project “#newbouyonexperience”, released on May 25, 2025 on Jeunes Visionnaires, Ricky Bishop record “7 sur 7” credits Ricky Bishop and Yu Meï as writers, and Ricky Bishop, Yu Meï and Prod Swafet as composers. Yu Meï Deezer page files that project among her associated releases, which confirms the link without saying whether she sings on it: the credits consulted name her in writing and composition, not as a performer of the record, and this profile stops there. The distinction matters, because it is the same one this site applies to the women writers of the Yellow Gaza universe: writing a record and singing it are two different facts, and both deserve to be documented separately.

Her podcast appearances complete this portrait through speech. Le Mwakast hosted her in May 2023, just as “Youpi Ya” and the guest version of “Pine Up” had come out. Faya hosted her as a guest of its Guadeloupe episode, alongside the actors of the scene, and programmed three of her records. No full transcript of those interviews was consulted for this profile, which therefore cites their existence, their dates and their tracklists, without lending her words that were not verified. What those two invitations establish is enough: from 2023, the media documenting bouyon and Antillean culture counted her among the voices to hear on the Guadeloupe scene.

That double position, singer and writer, also sheds light on her best known record. On “PLAN A 3”, Yu Meï sings a text co-written by three women, including herself under her writer name reversed in the metadata, Titine Emmanuelle. On her own singles, she writes as Emmanuelle Titine while four different composers, over the years, build the productions: Jordan Sapotille, Jordan Ramdaya, Brandon Benoist, then the “X” team and Morgan Bourgeois. The stable centre of her catalogue is neither a producer nor a label, which change from page to page, but that writing signature, present from “Eat Up” in 2020 to the 2025 credits for other artists.

October 2026: a public statement, and the limits of this file

In October 2026, Yu Meï name appeared in the press for a reason that has nothing to do with a single. France-Antilles published, on October 5, 2026, a long interview in which the singer, aged 29 according to the paper, recounts that several intimate videos of her were shared in groups without her consent. This profile reports that case briefly and in the terms she herself chose publicly: she says she reported the facts and took the matter to the competent authorities, she recalls that receiving or forwarding such a video without agreement engages the responsibility of the person who does it, and she clearly refuses shame, stating that this story will not define the woman or the artist she is. No further detail is repeated here: neither the content of the videos nor the identity of anyone, which belong to the investigation she says she triggered, not to a music profile.

What that public statement changes for this file is precise. It is, to date, her longest published interview found during this research, and in it she speaks first as a woman asserting her rights, inviting people who are victims of similar acts to keep the evidence and approach the authorities. For a site that documents bouyon artists, the lesson fits in one line: behind stage names and credits there are people, and the consent she claims for her images is the same principle this site applies to its facts: publish only what is established, attributed and checkable.

The limits of the file must therefore be stated as in the other profiles of this series. No Yu Meï album was found: her published catalogue is a run of singles and collaborations between 2020 and 2025. No birthplace, no training and no path before 2020 were published in the sources consulted. The full name of the other Ultimes Pétasses members was not found. The “Laisse-moi passer” clip description credits a photograph under a handle containing her stage name, but no verified official account of the artist was confirmed during this research, so this page links to only one external address, her Deezer artist page, opened and verified. If new elements are confirmed, this profile will be completed and dated again.

In the meantime, listening follows the order of this profile: “Eat Up” and “Pine Up” for the Ultimes Pétasses starting point, “Leakey” for the best credited record of the first period, “10 sur 10” and “X” for spring 2024, “PLAN A 3” for the Yellow Gaza feature, then our bouyon playlist, where the Guadeloupe bouyon of her generation sits alongside the new releases followed by Bouyon Shattaz. Between the first single of 2020 and the public statement of 2026 stands the path of a singer who writes her records, lends her pen to others, and intends to remain, in her own words as reported by the press, in control of her image as of her music.

It is the collective name Yu Meï is associated with from her first records. The Faya podcast credits “Eat Up” and “Pine Up” in the form Ultimes Pétasses and Yu Meï and hosts her as a guest under that name, Le Mwakast titles its May 2023 episode “YUMEI: Ultime P*tasse”, and our page on the Faya document describes her as a member of the duo Ultimes Pétasses. The other members names were not found in the sources consulted.
