Singer, songwriter, cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson is a rare exception to the rule that classical and alternative r&b music cannot successfully co-exist. She’s toured with Anoushka Shankar, Courtney Pine, recorded with Akala, composed for the LSO also winning amateur night at the Apollo, gaining a MOBO nomination and getting airplay on BBC 1Xtra.

Her mesmerising vocals, non-compromising lyrics and ability to reinterpret songs on the cello enables her to straddle both worlds effortlessly.
