2001, Yonnet moved to Washington, DC, where he performed in area festivals and clubs, quickly developing a reputation as a "genre-bending" harmonica player. He released a sampler CD titled Blowing Your Mind in Every Key of the Harp, which comprised five tracks, including "Amazing Grace" recorded live at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ, Los Angeles, CA. Six additional songs were added to the sampler CD and it was ultimately renamed and released in 2005 as Front & Center. After hearing Yonnet's music, comedian Dave Chappelle invited him to make guest appearances during Chappelle's 10-city Block Party Concert tour in 2006. Later that year, Yonnet, along with Erykah Badu and Goapele, were invited to perform at the AACW Blues Festival (Yellow Springs, Ohio) hosted by Chappelle.

In 2014, Wonder tapped Yonnet to perform harmonica parts on the Songs in the Key of Life Tour, 2014–15. Wonder performed the entire double album as part of the 44-city tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the most critically acclaimed album of his career. Performing on the tunes, "Have a Talk with God" and "Mama's Call", Yonnet demonstrated his mastery of the diatonic harmonica by expertly mimicking the chromatic melody Wonder originally performed on the studio album. Reality CD In 2010, in a pioneering effort that combined technology, art and reality, Yonnet halted all aspects of production on his most recent project – recording, packaging and video – to give fans access to the raw and rough cuts of his work at various stages of the creative process.
