Ayla Nereo - The Power of the Voice (#171): Ayla Nereo is a songwriter and performer based in California. As a youngster, Ayla Nereo spent endless hours immersed in the wilderness and in books. Galvanized by the wonders of nature and our own innate connection to it, she developed a profound fondness for words and their infinite, eternal possibilities. Homeschooled in the sprawling NorCal foothills, Ayla was painfully shy and avoided singing in front of people for many years. In spite of these fears, Nereo slowly started to share her songs with a small group of friends who lifted her up, and emboldened her craft. Inspired by classical music, ABBA, Enya, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles, she began writing music at a prolific pace, and eventually worked through her nascent stage fright. by Ten Laws with East Forest
