Ayanam is a Nigerian singer but considers his “musical home” to be Manchester. He grew up in Nigeria but moved to the UK at the age of 16 and it’s reflected in his musical style – taking inspiration from everyone from the Nsync to Outlandish to Paolo Nutini, and the Kooks – his musical taste is definitely “eclectic”, but what he enjoys doing is taking songs from every genre and playing around with their conventions, turning the most bubble gum of pop songs into neo soul musings. A lyricist at heart, having written poetry since 16, his raspy tone may remind you of passionate crooners like Rob Thomas and Paolo Nutini. Although most of his sets are covers. His original songs explore his struggles with anxiety as he finds it therapeutic. In 2019, Ayanam was a member of Sir Tom Jones’ team on The Voice UK getting as far as the knockouts.
