Yamaha Artist Services, Inc. (also known as YASI) is a provider of professional services exclusively for performing music artists, concert venues, performing arts organizations and educational institutions. Located at 689 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City, YASI is owned by the American subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation and features rehearsal, recording and performance spaces for musicians.
The YASI was brought into being in April 1987 as "Yamaha Concert & Artist Services", in the United States, having originated that same year in Paris, France, as "Centre Européen des Activités Artistiques" (C.E.A.A.). For a time, Yamaha managed the program within its new West 57th Street "Yamaha Communications Center", or "YCC" facility, located near Carnegie Hall. YCC closed in 1992. In May 2004, the current facility was opened.
