Multi-disciplinary artist and Native American from the Occaneechi band of the Saponi Nation, A.yoni Jeffries, just released a new music single. Watch the video and find out what she told us:

You mentioned you want people to feel your music, who do you hope they will feel from your latest release Whatever I Want?

In my experience, many people have felt themselves in my music, yet my only intention is to show up as authentically as possible for where I am in my life. Creating Whatever I Want was a joyous experience for me, and as its name suggests, I intend to keep doing that. I care more about my audience feeling what is natural and honest for them, rather than intending to evoke a specific emotion.

Is there a common goal in all your creative expressions?

Yes, to demonstrate my unique upbringing, cultures, & perspective to those who're willing to lend their attention.

Who would you take with you to climb Mt. Everest?

That's a secret lol. They know who they are.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

I say "dead ass" a lot. More than I am happy to admit lol.
