About Ayandra
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
When I was a child I would spend hours a day playing the piano, typically doing 1-2 hours a day of technical drills, followed by even more practice of classical music. For as long as I can remember, Bach was my favorite.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Armin van Buuren, Mirage
Glenn Gould, Bach: The Art of the Fugue, BWV 1080 (Excerpts)
Maneesh De Moor, Songs from the Tree of Light
These are three very different albums from three different genres, but they each capture something transcendent and have the ability to leave me feeling at peace, in awe of creation, connecting to something deep but inexpressible.

“Begin Again”
This was a song that I wrote when I was going through a period of loss, a period during which many chapters were ending. I hope that it gives people a sense of hope, that no matter what is going on, you can always begin again.
