After her first year in college as an accounting major, she decided to switch her major to music and fully devote her life to singing opera and training in piano. A few months ago, she decided to go into producing and songwriting, thus creating her first album from scratch. This year, Ayana plans to go to new heights and start having live performances and producing new songs as well as maintaining M Pire Magazine and AMW MultiMedia.
MM: How long have you been involved in the entertainment business?
AW: I ' ve been involved in the music business since about 2010. That was when my brother Chris and I started launching M Pire Magazine. Of course Chris has been in the music business since before I was born.
MM: When did you know that you wanted to be in this business and what was your motivation?
AW: I knew that I wanted to be in the music business when I was in college a few years ago, when I switched my major from Accounting to Music. I wanted to work on classical training via voice and piano, and venture into making those talents work for me in the music business. Music in general has been a part of my life since I was about 8 years old.
MM: Who has helped you along the way and inspired you the most?
AW: Hands down, my brother Chris. He was there to root for me in pursuing my dreams even when others close to me said I didn ' t have much of a chance. He always reminded me to move forward and not listen to those who were too afraid to follow their own dreams.
MM: How did you get started, what was your“ big break”? What are some of the highlights of your career so far?
