Watch "Life Is Calling You"
Official Video
With a mix of Ayanna’s signature R&B Soul vocals mixed with a Roots Reggae riddim, ‘Life is Calling You’ is an intentional marriage of African American and Jamaican music and culture.
“This song is an anthem for living out loud,” says Ayanna. “It’s a call to action to manifest our magic right now.”
I met Bob Marley when I was seven years old. I wish I had known then who I was in the presence of.
