Ayanna Witter-Johnson at Royal Albert Hall

Singer, songwriter, pianist and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson performs live in the Elgar Room.

Ayanna has a phenomenal mastery for seamlessly crossing the boundaries of classical, jazz, reggae, soul and R&B, to imprint her unique musical signature with her virtuosic tap, strum and bow with her cello into her sound and vibe.

“As a second-generation Jamaican born in Britain, my music is a body of work that represents, celebrates and pays homage to my ancestral heritage, culture and identity” explains Ayanna.

An acclaimed and celebrated performer, she has collaborated with many stellar artists, including Anoushka Shankar, Nitin Sawhney, Andrea Bocelli and Jools Holland. She has also toured extensively across the UK, Europe and the US.
