At 19, Ayo moved to London in her quest for her love for music, but it was only when she moved on to Paris that Ayo realised her dream, becoming an artist, and signed to her label, Polydor France.
With her captivating, magnetic voice, she has since stolen the hearts of her audience, initiated by the success of her debut smash single, 'Down On My Knees', that saw the album 'Joyful' rise to the top of the album chart. Close to 750,000 copies of the album were sold worldwide. Ayo took her cool, seductive style outside France, releasing Joyful in over 40 markets worldwide.
By early 2008, her insatiable appetite for travel found Ayo dropping her bags in The Bahamas. She locked herself away in the fabled Compass Point Studios, owned by Chris Blackwell, founder of the equally-renowned, Island Records.
Working alongside the ghosts of past recording sessions by such greats as Bob Marley and The Rolling Stones, Ayo developed her songs the old-fashioned way using vintage analog equipment. After working with Norah Jones, Jay Newland returned to co-produce with Ayo after their successful collaboration on Joyful. With further collaborations from Lucky Peterson on keyboards, and former Bob Dylan collaborator Larry Campbell on guitar, 13 songs were finalised as the album, 'Gravity At Last.'
This second collection of songs continues the quality shown by its predecessor, with the hushed but powerful voice recorded with desire to capture the moment and was released in five days. From the African heat of 'I Am Not Afraid,' the aching blues of 'Maybe', the intense ballad 'Better Days', and to the gospel-style of 'Thank You', Ayo has widely-broadened her range of influences.
After her sold out concerts in Le Botanique (October 2006) and Ancienne Belgique (March 2007) and her marvellous performance in Couleur Café in 2007, Ayo will be back on the 4th of Februari 2009 in Ancienne Belgique.
