“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words
and that which cannot remain silent.”
SOUNDS LIKE
Aiyana’s sound is the warmth of an old soul’s story with the modern folk twang of today. She pairs strong, ethereally sweet vocals with atmospheric folk guitar. Her original content is high vibrational storytelling. While mainly inspired by personal experiences, her songs are meant to be an experience unique to the listener.

PROJECTS
THE ISLAND
The Island is comprised of two souls, united by a single vision: to explore and express the infinite facets of the human condition through musical creation and performance. Nicholas Petrusek and I share the manifestations of that vision with any and all with an open heart. We channel love through rhythm and melody. Whether playing original compositions or putting our spin on the music of others, we seek to illuminate the myriad ways in which we can connect to our humanity.
