Ayanam is a Nigerian singer who grew up in Lagos but now lives in Manchester and considers himself an honorary Mancunian. He describes his musical style as soulful pop with his covers of Pop and R&B classics often accentuated by his raspy vocals.

A quarter-finalist on The Voice UK (2019) as a member of Sir Tom Jones' team, Ayanam continues to hone his craft all over the UK, having performed at notable venues such as The Troubadour (London), Soho House's The Ned Hotel (London), Matt & Phreds (Manchester), and The Whiskey Jar (Manchester).
