Ayanna Williams, known as Ayanna The Singer, is a compelling voice rising from the Bronx scene. With a sound rooted in soulful R&B and a nod to 90s and 2000s icons, she crafts intimate, expressive songs that linger long after the final note. Her releases, Delicate (2018) and Love Box (2020), showcase a storyteller’s honesty, lush melodies, and a delivery often compared to Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, and Jazmine Sullivan. Ayanna actively cultivates community through Uptown Melody, a platform that highlights local artists and performances across New York venues.
