I can't say enough wonderful things about Ajaye - everything about the experience was perfect! I hired her to play at my boyfriend's 60th birthday party where I'd rented out a small, cozy lounge (small bar) for ~50 guests across a range of ages and tastes. The moment she started singing I knew I'd hit the jackpot - she has this country/folk/soft rock vibe that was absolutely perfect for the event and space. Having listened to her demos and communicating about the evening, I knew that she was going to be "fine", but the reality far exceeded my expectations. She was so warm and friendly in her interactions with everyone, her voice was lovely - everything she sang from Journey to Garth Brooks just came out... RIGHT. Having her there made the night that much more special, that may sound a little cheesy, I don't care, it really was perfect. And given everyone asked "where'd you find her?!" and the bar manager told me "we're going to have her back here" I know I'm not the only one who thought so. Thank you so much, Ajaye, for helping make Bob's birthday a truly memorable, fun, and very special evening! Can't wait to hear you again!
Country Singer
Response from Ajaye:
Hey Liz! It was such a joy to perform at Bob's Birthday party. You were all wonderful, and it was an amazing party. Thanks for hiring me and sharing your feedback. I hope to work together again in the future!
We first heard Ajaye several years ago on the rooftop of Ole Red’s. Along with our brother-in-law, we have enjoyed her shows, especially her original music.
As Covid was winding down we wanted to find a way to give some friends the opportunity to experience Ajaye’s talent in a more intimate setting, so we sponsored a house concert in Franklin consisting of several other couples.
It was a wonderful experience. Ajaye is a gifted singer songwriter and we spent the evening listening to her acoustic set with enjoyable conversation between songs in which we were able to learn of the process involved in creating the words and music. Everyone in attendance was greatly impressed by Ajaye both with her talent as well as her warm and caring personality. It has been a real treat since then to follow her growing recognition as a great singer songwriter and we enjoy seeing and hearing her every chance we get.

It was such a joy to perform at your house concert. Thank you so much for the kind words, David!
I hired Ajaye to perform at a family event, and she was outstanding. From the get go, she was professional, quick to respond, kind and her set list was incredible. She made the evening a huge success! I highly recommend Ajaye for your next event.
