Have you ever felt like your voice was hiding behind fear, pressure, or perfectionism?

You're not alone. Johanna Lyew-Ayee, an AFM Artist and Voice & Confidence Empowerment Coach, knows that feeling all too well.

In her Shoutout Miami feature, Johanna opens up about moving from stage anxiety and self-doubt to helping others unlock the very thing she once struggled with: her voice.

"I want the world to know that my brand is dedicated to empowering individuals through the art of singing. Its more than about music; its about fostering confidence to raise your voice in all situations- something so important, especially today." - Johanna

Her story is a powerful reminder that boldness isn’t something you're born with. It's something you build. And when you pair it with purpose, everything begins to change.

Here is just a peak at the beginning of this interview, published by Shoutout Miami, highlighting some of the core values, experiences, and goals that Johanna has acquired over the years:

Hi Johanna, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?

"Starting my own vocal studio came from a deep passion for music and desire to share that with others. As a mother, I wanted to create a nurturing environment where singers of all ages could build their confidence and develop their unique voices. Growing up, I myself struggled with confidence and when I became a mother, one of my greatest priorities became to raise confident, fearless children! My thought process revolved around wanting to inspire and empower others to express themselves with confidence through singing- something that has always been a significant part of my life." - Johanna
