From pop to its indie fusion, this music genre has played an essential role in her art formation. Whilst composing new content, Thompson tends to extract experiences, giving rise to a unique and spectacular sound.

In September 2019, the brilliant songstress kickstarted her career independently with single ‘Divine’, including ‘Malibu’.

The subsequent year oversaw more singles: ‘Unmoved (A Black Woman Truth),’ ‘All Out Of Love’ with JB Stark, and ‘Disco Dancing’ alongside Namy.

Ayoni quotes a variety of musicians, like Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Aretha Franklin, as top influences and inspirations. In 2021, the Los Angeles-based, retained her flawless lyricism on ‘The Patriots’/‘If You Leave’. This year (2022), Thompson made a fresh come-out signing to Ultra Modern Music — a subsidiary of Good Partners.

Executively produced by Cole Mitchell, third track ‘Vision’, serves as a remainder to do what you know how to do best, irrespective of any situation.
