I am a multi-faceted vocalist, pianist and graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in Professional Music. I am available as a vocalist and pianist for live performance and studio sessions in a variety of genres, including classical, jazz, contemporary, pop, rock, funk, r&b, soul, oldies, and more. For live performance, I am available as a lead and/or background vocalist, and also as a solo musician (vox/piano), duo (+guitar), trio (+guitar or bass, drums), or can provide a larger ensemble depending on your needs!
I'm passionate about what I do and I look forward to working with you!
Ayo Awosika is a top notch performer and her personality and demeanor are equally amazing. Her performance was the highlight of the evening. She made the evening special and even obliged an impromptu duet with one of my guest. She is such a gracious person and her talents exceeded my expectations. I will definitely have her back again. Ayo is amazing!!!
Photos from this event
We had a corporate gathering of about 150 people and Ayo was professional and accommodating. Best of all is her voice. She has an Alycia keys vibe and a beautiful vouce. She plays the organ and also works with an acoustic guitar player and together it was amazing.
Ayo was amazing! Everyone loved her. My daughter was so happy to have her sing for her virtual ceremony. Thank you so much Ayo.
