SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Folk-soul chanteuse Ay? emerged as one of Europe's biggest new pop stars of 2006
with her breakthrough debut LP, Joyful. Born to a Nigerian father and gypsy
mother in Cologne, West Germany, on September 14, 1980, as a child Ay? absorbed
the musical traditions of her parentage as well as influences including American
soul, reggae, and Afrobeat, all staples of her father's extensive record
collection. Ay? first studied violin before moving to piano and guitar. At 21
she relocated to London, later dividing her time between Paris and New York City
and earning attention while opening for neo-soul kindred spirits including Omar
and Cody Chestnutt. After recording a five-song demo reel, Ay? briefly receded
from the live circuit in late 2005 to give birth to her first child. Early the
following year she signed to Polydor, and with producer Jay Newland completed
Joyful (the English translation of her Yoruba name) in just five days. Buoyed by
the lead single "Down on My Knees," the album fell just shy of the German Top
Ten. In 2008, Ay? opted for the Bahamas to record her sophomore album, Gravity
at Last. Produced once again by Jay Newland and again recorded in just five
days, the album went on to reach the number one spot on the French album charts.
2011 saw the release of her third album. Named after her daughter, Billie-Eve
was once again recorded in five days with the help of rapper Saul Williams and
Lenny Kravitz collaborator Craig Ross.
