她的音乐简单自然，她的声音干净质朴，就像带着一把吉他浪迹天涯的吉普赛女郎，散发神秘的迷人气质。声音表情似乎无需太多乐器润饰，就能传递一场感动人心的真诚演出，为歌曲注入更多生命力，虽然有着不起眼的外型，但是带着忧郁气质的Ayo，在90年代美国本土烧起一波Neo-Soul风潮下，添入锁定众人目光的外籍兵团，体会来自德国的暖色系音频，调融Folk、Jazz、Soul、Reggae等声韵，捕捉欧式浪漫，为男女情爱世界找寻可以暂时休憩的温柔空间。
现居法国的德国籍创作女歌手Ayo，原名为Joy Olasunmibo Ogunmakin，父亲是到德国念书的尼日利亚人，母亲则是成长于吉普赛群体的罗马尼亚人，因为家庭环境影响，Ayo从小不但沉浸在父亲搜藏的唱片堆中，更向往波希米亚人那种游牧的生活方式，四处为家，居无定所。当她六岁时母亲染上毒瘾，自此不得不跟随父亲同住，也开始学习乐器演奏，从小提琴到钢琴再至吉他，深爱音乐的Ayo，希望能多接触各项乐器，更尝试从中创作属于自己的主题曲。随着岁数增长，她决定离开家乡，借着旅游吸收各国音乐文化，从英国至美国再到巴黎，每一次的停留都让Ayo获益良多，也成为歌曲中的点滴记印。

Ayo带出的首张个人专辑【Joyful】，于2006年先行在欧洲上市，波兰和法国皆已创下白金唱片销售纪录，2007年正式站上国际舞台，交付横跨爵士/蓝调/流行各界之金牌传奇制作人Jay Newland(Norah Jones、Louis Amstrong、Chet Baker)坐镇操盘。首支主打单曲“Down On My Knees”，以轻柔手鼓与Acoustic吉他编织出最深情音线，唱着祈求再度挽回逝去爱恋的渴望，后段高亢激昂嗓音诠释令人动容；以民谣为架构同时宣泄淡淡法式香颂的“Without You”，是Ayo献给一生为家牺牲奉献的父亲之歌，声声唱出的感谢语词，勾起往日种种深刻画面；充满正面鼓励之作“Help Is Coming”，相信努力克服一切，不畏惧、不逃脱，总有一天成功会降临，包裹轻松摇摆的雷鬼调调，舒服享受随乐放宽心的自在；“And It’s Supposed To Be Love”在慵懒甜美的嗓音铺陈下，辅入轻松顺畅爵士风情，串入柔顺吉他声韵，增添此曲高雅动人之感；末曲“Neva Been”是Ayo在青少年学琴时的创作，以钢琴曼妙声调为基础，绽放香气扑鼻的迷人小调。藉此12首优质作品，彻底释放Ayo真诚微醺的动人音波。
