This episode I have the opportunity to connect with Aiyana-Lee and chat about growing up in a musical family (her mother, manager, and creative partner, Nicole Daciana Anderson, is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter (Blue), her uncle was David Ruffin of The Temptations, and her grandfather was famed American soul singer Jimmy Ruffin). We talk about the difference between making music and working in the music industry, the power of self-reflection, and how she doesn't believe in mistakes and how every mistake can lead to a victory.
