FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Goldeneyes Entertainment Releases Remix Sessions As A Digital Album Via iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody & Napster

 
A woman thoroughly steeped in hip hop, reggae & soul music, New York City based Ayana Soyini has returned with her brand new digital album Remix Sessions, now available at iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody & Napster. This is her second album on her own Goldeneyes Entertainment label since her self produced indie debut The Khamouflage Project EP of 2001, which sold just over 5,000 units. The songs on Remix Sessions focus on re-imagining the music and words of the songs previously on The Khamouflage Project EP, which were personal topics and reflections about life written over a number of years. The final result is a musical growth and progression solidifying what Ayana Soyini is perhaps best known for, her prowess as a respected emcee who came up in the 1990’s New York City underground hip hop scene. What many do not know is that she is also a growing producer and this becomes even more evident on Remix Sessions. A combination of live instruments and programming create rythmic grooves which adds heavily to the sonic soundscape of this album.  In her own way, Ayana Soyini’s production advances beyond boom bap hip hop into reggae and soul inspired basslines, adventurous production and melodic songwriting.

Ayana Soyini was instrumental in the wave of independent New York City hip hop that jumped off in the 1990’s. She was a member of Bronx based hip hop collective, Natural Elements  who were produced by Charlemagne. She also worked with DJ Spinna, Apani B. Fly, Jean Grae, Kool Kim from UMC’s and many other important acts that helped shape the NYC indie movement. Remix Sessions is her most important and refined self produced effort to date.

Ayana Soyini is currently setting up tour dates for the Summer and Fall in major cities in the US and abroad and she is also currently rehearsing with her band, The Khamouflage Band.
