Ayodele and her band are geared to hit the Ellington late night stage with a blast, presenting a smorgasbord of dazzling melodies and hip arrangements. From Chaka Khan and Dirty Loops to Kimbra and Kings of Leon, with a few esoteric gems thrown in along the way, there’ll be something sweet for everyone’s musical tastebuds. Come down and treat yourself to the r&b and soul sounds of some of Perth’s finest musical talent, and indulge in the fabulous cocktails and tapas served in this premier live music lounge.
Ayodele’s name (pronounced eye-yo-deli) means “Joy has come into the House”. A singer-songwriter of Nigerian-Australian decent, Ayo has toured the world singing in places such as Los Angeles, the US Virgin Islands, Canada, Paris, Brunei, Singapore and Vanuatu. She has supported the likes of Grammy Award-winning artists Mary Mary and performed at the JoyFest Gospel Music Festival in St. Croix.
