What’s your Artist name and Where Are you from? Ayye Moe from Washington DC to be exact. Why do you love music? I love a challenge. I stopped playing pro basketball because I was looking for a competitive rush that I hadn’t felt in a while. Back in 2018, I was in my friend’s studio while a couple a singers were recording. I’m listening to these singers and I had a split second where I thought that I couldn’t do what they were doing. The fact that I had that moment of doubt in my mind let me know that that is where I needed to be. I decided to stop playing ball and become a singer in that moment. The rest is history.

The story of musically gifted Sujoy
Sujoy ,Born and raised in New York, has a love for music that dates back to before he could remember. As recounted by his Father, Sujoy as an infant would not be able to sleep unless taken in the car and driven around, music playing, until the sounds would lull him to sleep at night. He began to teach himself how to play guitar, so that he could accompany himself while he sang. Learning to play guitar and sing provided Sujoy with an outlet of expression that he had not known before. Today, Sujoy's love for music is driven by music’s ability to act as an extension of himself which he can share with the world. He creates music in hopes of changing people's lives and everyday moments.
