About Me

' Ayla is an exceptional talent. From the greener pastures of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, this resounding and emotive songstress is spellbinding. Her blend of strife and serenity, politics and peace, and her enchanting vocal prowess compels the heart and evokes the soul. Currently playing round the South West, her beautifully haunting soulful sounds are simply unmissable. ' ............................................................ .................................. presently part of a beautiful group of musicians called the 'wild flower collective'... me, calum findlay, ben howard, jonny and freya....deliciousness xxx ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ..........................Music to me is an incredibly refreshing gasp of air, something that stirs from deep within, blooming and blossoming from my very depths of me. My songs are written in moments of intensity and overwhelming emotion, flickers of beauty, pain, curiosity, hurt, yearning, love, bliss… They unravel according to no rules or plan, seeming to come through me, not from me. It is my way of working life out, seeking out truth, questioning, challenging, provoking, and understanding the ways of people and the world. It is an expression, and release, a gentle being that reaches out its soothing arms to catch me before I fall.I believe in a world where love, truth and nature prevail and flourish over greed, ignorance and concrete darkness. My distress at the state of the world and its many profit crazy men and women, creates inspiration from which many of my songs stem. However I devotedly believe that with ‘all its sham drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world’. Music is my refuge, my silence, my serenity, my peace
