Focused and hard at work in the studio Psalmoetry (Ayanna Mincy-Lewis) recently released a self-titled Urban project (Psalmoetry EP)  and completed a music video and DVD for her HOT new single (Shake it Off Remix)  in preparation for her full album Psalmistic Soul Food.  Laying the ground work for a successful on/offline marketing national campaigne, Psalmoetry performed live during GMA week at a music showcase in Nashville Tennesee, as well as interviewed with Sista Shawn of Gospel Impact Radio to kick things off.

As a graduate of The School for Creative & Performing Arts – Psalmoetry studied Drama, Vocal Music and Dance.  Her gifts and talents have been used in numerous musicals and stage plays as well as in the Christian film  ”Segregated Sunday” where she played the role of “Minnie”.  Psalmoetry’s smash hit Single “Shake It Off!” landed her the number 1 spot on the Stellar award nominated Gospel Skate Jams Vol. 2 CD.   She was also featured on the Pursue Your Dreams compilation CD (another Stellar award nominee).  Ayanna is a graduate of SMTI (Super Natural Ministries Training Institute) where she furthered her learning of biblical scriptures and received a certificate in the Ministry of Helps.

Ayanna (Psalmoetry) has several published works of spirit led poetry and has also ministered in the gift of “Spoken Word”, in prisons, high-schools, college campuses, churches, outreach venues, weddings, home going services and music tours such as the Aquire The Fire Tour (Ron Luce) where she shared the stage with national recording artists L.G.

Ayanna is in love with JESUS THE LIVING CHRIST  and credits Him for specific changes that have been made in her heart for not only her betterment but to aid her in being a blessing to others.  One of her greatest passions is creating (Spirit led) poetry and songs that are relevant and relatable…dealing with real life situations/ issues, relationships, and God’s genuine love for mankind.  Psalmoetry says,  ”I believe God has graced me with my writing and singing gift in order to encourage and inspire others”.  Because of this belief, she has taken part in such conferences as My Sista My Friend (Annie Ruth), Life Choices (Author De’Ron Smith) and the annual Stop The Madness outreach (Saundra Cross Porter) to name a few.
