Elect Sounds Radio is honored to welcome Makabi Yashar to our growing family of artists committed to truth, transformation, and praise to the Most High Yahuah.
Formerly known as Mark A. Smith, Makabi Yashar brings with him decades of musical experience and spiritual leadership. From serving as a church musician to Minister of Music, Youth Pastor, and eventually a Senior Pastor, Makabi’s journey has been marked by service—but it was in 2021 that he walked away from religious tradition, only to be awakened by the Most High three years later.
Now reborn in spirit and purpose, Makabi reintroduces himself to the world under a new name, new sound, and renewed mission. A gifted songwriter, composer, producer, and audio engineer, Makabi made the courageous decision to remove his previous four albums from all platforms, choosing instead to build a catalog that aligns with the truth revealed to him by Yahuah.
“To be awakened by Yahuah is the highest honor of my life,” says Makabi. “Every note I write, every lyric I sing, is a testimony to His mercy and His calling.”
Makabi Yashar is not only a man of music, but also a family man—proudly married to his wife LaShonda for 31 years, a father to four, and grandfather to five. His mission is clear: to be a light to his family and community, teaching the ways of Yahuah and His son, Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.
We are excited to share Makabi’s new works and testimony with listeners around the globe. Stay tuned for exclusive releases, interviews, and live sessions on Elect Sounds Radio.
Welcome home, Makabi Yashar.
