#13 - Ayanna Witter-Johnson - a podcast by Thomas Kam

This week I speak to singer, songwriter and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson, whose music combines classical music with alternative R&B. We discuss her track “Rise Up”, which is both a dance track inspired by Missy Elliot, and a powerful anthem to enact change, which found it’s place in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. She describes her journey exploring her Jamaican heritage through it’s folk music - how composing and performing are an outward expression of her spiritual condition - and how this creation can help change our world for the better, from the inside out.
