Hi! I’m a singer/songwriter currently accepting opportunities for solo performances, BGVs, and session work across a diverse range of styles, including R&B, Gospel, Classical, Musical Theatre, Neo-Soul, and Pop.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Music and a minor in Classical Voice, I bring a strong foundation in vocal technique, musicality, versatility, and performance to every project. I’m passionate about collaborating with artists, producers, choirs, churches, theatre productions, and other creatives to bring music to life.
Available for live performances, background vocals, studio/session work, and collaborative projects. I’d love to connect and create something beautiful together!

June 17, 2026It was a blessing to have this singer perform at my Christian Jesus Jam. She is a very kind and considerate person to work with. Hey vocal skills are phenomenal. I would invite her back again and again

Akoiya is a Neo-Soul singer/songwriter from Columbus, Ohio, whose musical journey began at birth. Gospel music was her foundation, leading her to perform in various choirs, singing groups, and eventually as a solo artist. While earning a degree in Music Business, Akoiya made the move to the DMV, spending years in different parts of Maryland before fully embracing the area as her second home. Now, after years in the city, she proudly represents both DC and Maryland as part of her artistic identity. Akoiya’s music is deeply rooted in storytelling, empowerment, love, and the lessons that shape us. She crafts songs that resonate with authenticity and emotion, blending raw vulnerability with soulful melodies.
