From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ayshamar (born 28th January) is a classically trained multi-disciplinary pianist, vocalist, violinist and songwriter based in London.[1] Ayshamar has comprehensive experience in classical and experimental performance, sonic arts, instrumental arrangement and choir directing.[2]

Ayshamar released her debut single Don’t Make Me Try (2011, remastered in 2016) and later Smash (2014), Fallen Angel (2016) and Magnet (2015)[3]. She also has several other credits with international and local artists[4]; she is working on her E.P which is due for release in 2024.

Early and Personal Life[edit]

Ayshamar grew up in South London with her family and began playing the piano at the age of three. As a young musician, she enrolled at Guildhall’s Centre for Young Musicians where she studied piano, choral singing (and choir), violin and songwriting. Having come from a family background of professional musicianship, she also learnt music production and sonic arts from her father.

In 2017 she graduated from Brunel University with a degree in Music, majoring in Classical and Experimental performance and Sonic Arts. She is a songwriter for international and local artists as well as a solo performing musician.[5]

She also trained professionally in Performing arts and acting for several years and has made appearances on BBC and the Royal Opera House in Das Rheingold.

Musical Influences[edit]

Ayshamar's influences include India Arie, Pixie Lott, Lianne La Havas, Laura Mvula, Des’ree, John Mayer, Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Ray La Montagne, and Lauryn Hill. In a radio interview in 2021, she stated: “I began voice training as young as four years old, first in musical theatre and as I got older, I began to do more choral music. Funnily enough, I ended up singing indie/soul acoustic later down the line and voice coaching - singing has been a real journey for me – I was always a reserved vocalist!”
