Ayaka Taylor is a rising voice in Contemporary R&B and New Age Soul, blending elegance and emotion with a vocal presence that lingers long after the song ends.

Born in Las Vegas and shaped by the sounds of Mariah Carey, Aaliyah, and Brandy, she grew up in choir rooms and on theatre stages; all spaces where she learned to turn feeling into expression.

Her music captures the beauty and weight of growing up—using rich, reflective storytelling to explore love that teaches, moments that bruise, and the quiet truths that shape who we are. She tastefully embellishes her discography with flirtatiousness and allure. With standout singles like “Backseat” and “Waves,” she’s established herself as a voice of depth and style.

Her debut EP, which she is currently building, is a soulful mosaic of where she’s been—and a powerful reflection of her becoming.
