Yolanda was raised together with her six siblings. She is a graduate from Sterling High School and Texas Southern University. After graduation she worked as a schoolteacher and part-time model, but resigned with a view to pursuing a career as a singer, which became the main source of Yolanda Adam’s net worth.
She made the first step towards fame and recognition while singing in Houston’s Southeast Inspirational Choir, which belonged to the Church of God in Christ. The well known music pieces of that time are the single “For My Liberty” (1982) and the studio album “Just As I Am” (1987). It was Ben Tankard who invited Yolanda to sign a contract with the record label Tribute Records in 1990.
