Ayana Del Valle is a captivating and innovative singer/songwriter whose sweet and soulful vocals have been swingin' NYC venues since she moved there from upstate NY three years ago. Rooted and educated in jazz, this puertorriquena infuses her keen sense for jazz improvisation with R&B, soul, pop, hip-hop, and Latin. It's her passion and ability to thrive on the moment that support this unique combination of elements, making her music come to life and keeping audiences on their toes! Born and raised near the small city of Binghamton, NY, Ayana eagerly grew up listening to the cultured sounds of jazz, Latin-jazz, doo-wop, R&B, and pop, performing such music as a child for family and friends. Her genuine sound is much inspired by musical legends such as Mariah Carey, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and Eryka Badu to name a few. It was the Ella Fitzgerald CD her father gave her while in her teens that inspired her to sing jazz. Ayana's professional music career was ignited while attending the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College.
