Wé Ani is right at home in the spotlight – the 24-year-old is a budding star with a screen presence, charisma to burn, and a thousand-watt smile. A once-in-a-generation talent, she takes influence from Aretha and Whitney, bringing her audience back to an era of Hollywood movie glamour, but her style and presentation could be compared to Billie Eilish – a cool, confident, edgy tomboy. The innovative jazz vocalist, pop singer, and gifted songwriter has brought memorable performances to global audiences across the U.S., and internationally to countries including Amsterdam, and Rwanda with the Christian humanitarian agency World Vision, whose mission is to provide clean water to every person everywhere they work by 2030. She’s performed at high-profile events, like The Trumpet Awards in 2018; at legendary venues like The New York Philharmonic; and she even played Young Ella in the ‘Celebration of Ella Fitzgerald.’ 

Singing since age 12, Wé Ani’s star-making turn during her show-stopping blind audition on the hit NBC TV show The Voice drew worldwide attention in 2016 and in 2023, she reached the Top 5 on American Idol. People are continuously awed by the distinct difference between Wé’s speaking voice and singing voice during performances and appearances on social media.
