AYALA is a London based British - Irish artist.
Paying her dues by performing internationally and at many private events, including being hand picked by no less than Sir Paul McCartney to perform for and share the stage with at his own private party a few years ago, she has now launched her own live music TV show on IRISH TV (SKY 191) and focuses on life as an artist, presenter and songwriter.
Debut album ‘This Year’ is set for release on 9th December. It was produced between LA and London by Fabio BOI Angelini (Pink), Juan Luis Ayala (Gabrielle), and Troy Miller (Amy Winehouse, Laura Mvula) and is a beautiful blend of British pop with folk and blues as well as touches of the more exotic Mexican/Latin flavours.
Naturally, Ayala’s album recordings and live shows boast an all-star cast of London’s top musicians (band mates who also play with Ed Sheeran, Jamie Cullum, Amy Winehouse, Tom Jones, Jamiroquai. Simply Red, Mark Ronson, the list goes on).
2014 saw Ayala have a top 5 club hit in the UK with her song ‘The Sun Has Come’ remixed by Joey Negro (Kelly Rowland, Mariah Carey, Sugababes, Diana Ross, Lionel Ritchie and Pet Shop Boys). This track was released as a double A side with On My Way reaching the top 10 in the (Music Week) pop club charts.
Since then Ayala has been writing and recording in London, Mexico and LA, where she wrote her single ‘5157 Miles’ (released September 2014), which depicts the distance between LA and Dublin- inspired when she was working in LA and missing home. Her 2015 single ‘This Year’ is an anthemic declaration of good intentions for the year ahead.
As well as her upcoming album release, Ayala works hard producing and hosting her very own live music TV show ‘The Ayala Show’ which airs every Friday night at 10pm and Sundays at 5.30pm on Irish TV (SKY191). The guests include names such as multi platinum selling Gilbert O’Sullivan, Mercury Prize nominee Eska, Mobo nominee Natalie Williams, X Factor finalist Paije Richardson, Mamas Gun, Members of UK Rock band The Feeling, Latin Superstars Noel Schajris and Horacio Palencia, Grammy Award winning The Swingle Singers, the list goes on....

Plans for 2016 include the release of a duet with the multi platinum selling Artist Gilbert O’Sullivan on his new single ‘I Guess I’ll Always Love You’. She also has plans to launch into the Mexican and Latin market in 2016.
