Ayoni (Ayoni Thompson) is a highly talented, Barbadian-born singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, whose music is a genre-bending synthesis of Pop, Soul, and R&B, infused with influences from her global upbringing across Barbados, Singapore, Jakarta, and various US cities. Known for her ethereal vocal stylings and technically controlled yet powerful voice, Ayoni uses music as a vehicle for honest storytelling, often reflecting on identity, overcoming isolation, and social commentary, as demonstrated in her critically acclaimed 2019 debut EP, Iridescent, and her protest single, “Unmoved (A Black Woman Truth).” After being mentored by legends like Rihanna and Adele, and drawing inspiration from the likes of SZA and Lorde, she is now poised for further breakthrough, having recently starred in the Alicia Keys-produced documentary Uncharted and preparing for the release of her highly anticipated debut album, ISOLA, in 2025.
