About
36,000 miles. 75 shows. One woman, no shortcuts.
A rising multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based in Nashville, Ayla builds her songs live on stage with a loop station, delivering a charismatic one-woman-band performance that W21 Music hailed as "certainly a tour de force." Often compared to KT Tunstall for her raw energy and one-woman-band presence, she blends infectious hooks and groove with heartfelt, lived-in storytelling across country, folk, pop and R&B.
From busking her way out of her hometown in Germany to booking solo tours across Europe while being her own manager, band, and booking agent, Ayla has built her career on grit and stubbornness. In 2025 alone, she drove 36,000 miles and played 75 shows across the UK and Europe, including her 45-date Come Alive UK tour with appearances at Buckle & Boots Festival, Nashville Sounds In The Round at Birmingham Symphony Hall, Country In The Afternoon in London, and support slots for Morgan Wallen Tribute UK and Amy Jo. Her visibility as a fiddle player also caught the attention of viral U.S. star Oliver Anthony, who brought her out on his 2024 European tour - their duets amassing over 1.3 million YouTube views in the first week.
Ayla is currently working on her debut album - a genre-blending record woven from country, folk, pop and R&B, a fresh take on the late 90s and early 2000s. Set for release in early 2027, with an extensive UK and Europe tour to follow.
