Ayelya

Ayelya is a French rapper and singer who has developed a universe at the crossroads of rap, soul and R'n'B. Originally from the Île-de-France region, she began playing music as a child, influenced by the Congolese rumba she listened to at her father's house and her brother's hip-hop mixtapes. A self-taught musician, she learned her trade on the RnB hits of the 2000s and the choruses of artists such as K-Reen and Kayna Samet. After experience in two gospel choirs and two appearances on The Voice, she began to make her living from music as a backing singer and performer at events. She then joined the groups Funkable(Take Off, 2018) and Supa Dupa(How Flowers Are Made, 2020), before appearing as a backeuse on major stages, notably alongside Youssoupha for his tours and editions of Hip Hop Symphonique. It was with producer and musician Clyde that she decided to fully embrace her voice and pen, launching her solo project. In March 2020, she released her first EP, Nota Bene, supported by the track "Je fais", followed by "Plan A" and "Morts ou Vifs". In it, she explores her flaws, social injunctions and doubt, on productions mixing trap, R'n'B and live instrumentation. In 2023, she began a new creative cycle with a series of regular singles, inaugurated by "Cercle Vicieux".
