infectious, melodic tune.

Speaking on the track title, D’Yani says: “Ambience, to me, embodies the atmosphere, location, and setting where love blossoms, and the emotions it elicits through your partner’s influence. When I contemplate ambience, it’s primarily a positive perspective on love, filled with youthful enthusiasm. It’s a sensation of euphoria and ecstasy, a rare experience when you’re so deeply connected with your partner that inhibitions melt away, and it’s a pure soul-to-soul connection”.

D’Yani considers himself a true student of music. As a musician, his style predominantly showcases a fresh approach to the genres of Reggae and Dancehall, he draws musical inspiration from a melange of talents such as Jackie Wilson, Sizzla Kalonji, Bob Dylan, Movado Bob Marley, and many others.
