Ayoni

Ayoni is a boundary-breaking pop-soul artist whose voice radiates both power and precision. A singer, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist, Ayoni brings a rare blend of vocal dynamism and emotional intelligence to every song she creates. Born in Barbados and raised across the globe—from Singapore to Jakarta to the US—Ayoni’s music reflects a rich tapestry of cultural influences. Her sound is rooted in soul but unconfined by genre, drawing inspiration from the storytelling traditions of blues and jazz, the emotional complexity of alternative pop, and the textured rhythms of the global music scenes she’s called home.

A self-taught musician since childhood, Ayoni began writing songs at the age of 10, pairing her lyrics with piano and later guitar. As a teen, she turned to production, inspired by shape-shifting albums like ANTI, Ctrl, and Melodrama. That early curiosity evolved into a full-spectrum approach to music-making—she writes, sings, produces, and performs with equal command.

Ayoni’s 2024 debut album, ISOLA, offers a stunning introduction to her sound: expansive, vulnerable, and rich with the soulful storytelling that defines her work. Written in the wake of personal upheaval and global isolation, the record traces a journey of transformation and spiritual clarity.

Now based in Los Angeles, California, Ayoni continues to evolve her voice and vision. Whether she's reflecting on love and change, confronting emotional solitude, or expressing profound faith, her music invites listeners into a soulful, human connection.
