Early and Personal Life

edit

Ayshamar grew up in South London with her family and began playing the piano at the age of three. As a young musician, she enrolled at Guildhall’s Centre for Young Musicians where she studied piano, choral singing (and choir), violin and songwriting. Having come from a family background of professional musicianship, she also learnt music production and sonic arts from her father.

In 2017 she graduated from Brunel University with a degree in Music, majoring in Classical and Experimental performance and Sonic Arts. She is a songwriter for international and local artists as well as a solo performing musician.[5]

She also trained professionally in Performing arts and acting for several years and has made appearances on BBC and the Royal Opera House in Das Rheingold.

Musical Influences

edit

Ayshamar's influences include India Arie, Pixie Lott, Lianne La Havas, Laura Mvula, Des’ree, John Mayer, Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Ray La Montagne, and Lauryn Hill. In a radio interview in 2021, she stated: “I began voice training as young as four years old, first in musical theatre and as I got older, I began to do more choral music. Funnily enough, I ended up singing indie/soul acoustic later down the line and voice coaching - singing has been a real journey for me – I was always a reserved vocalist!”
