Soulful vocals, playful fiddle, and rhythmic guitar - what sounds like a full modern country-folk band is, in fact, just one artist: Ayla Schofield.
A rising multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Ayla builds her songs live on stage with a loop station, delivering a charismatic one-woman-band performance that has quickly established her as a standout act in the European music scene.

Following her impressive 45-date Come Alive tour across the UK - including appearances at Buckle & Boots Festival, Nashville Sounds In The Round at Birmingham Symphony Hall, and support for Morgan Wallen Tribute UK - Ayla has earned praise from W21 Music as “certainly a tour de force.” Often dubbed the KT Tunstall of country music, she blends infectious energy with heartfelt, raw storytelling.

From teenage busker to The Voice of Germany contestant at just 17, Ayla had toured eight countries by the age of 23. In 2024, she joined viral U.S. star Oliver Anthony on his European tour as a fiddle player, with their duets amassing over 1.3 million YouTube views in the first week.

After wrapping up the final dates of her 2025 tour in Germany and Switzerland, Ayla is currently working on a series of co-writes and studio sessions - with her highly anticipated debut album set for release in 2026.
