Aysat is a 29-year-old Senegalo-Mauritanian singer, born in France, who started to write, sing and dance in her childhood. She joined her town’s cultural centre when she was 10, where she started to learn hip-hop and break dancing. After high-school, she started to write and record songs while pursuing biochemistry studies and working as a cashier, a lab assistant, and even giving dance lessons to make a living. Musically, her style mixes hip-hop, R’n’B, Soul and Senegalese music. She’s inspired by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Jenny Hill, Missy Elliot and Mary J Blige. She publicly published her first song on Skyblog in 2007, before releasing her first single in 2008, “Je n’ai pas choisi“, featuring Amy, followed by her first EP in 2011. Since then, she has released a few singles (the most successful being “Ailleurs“), as well as covers and even makeup tutorials, on her Youtube channel. She also writes her own lifestyle blog, Ayodiparis. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
