Cooke and
Lauryn Hill.

talent and determination, the road for Ayanna has not always
been smooth.
"We came to the ATL in 2002 to make it in the music biz, then
went back to
NYC, lived in hotels and ended in a homeless shelter for 8
months"
says Ayanna's manager/business partner Marvin Walker, CEO of
Elese
Entertainment. After a few big songwriting credits, they returned to the
ATL in 2004
to set up shop permanently. "There was a sense of urgency that
motivated the
growth of the business", she explains.
What has made "Girl Talk" connect with music
consumers is that it's good quality and relatable music. Standout songs
include, "Numbers in Ya Pocket", "Best Friends Man", "Maybe"
and the Billboard charted first single "Ooh Wee". "Everyone can
relate to my music; …mothers - daughters, boyfriends- girlfriends, different
generations", Ayanna smiles. Undoubtably, Ayanna has an impressive
catalogue of songs that range from gospel to country and all other genres in
between. No doubt, the world will be hearing more from singer, songwriter,
"songstress"
