While collaborating with Charlemagne and Fortress records, Ayana landed an industry job as an A&R for indie label Robbins Entertainment founded by Cory Robbins (previous owner of Profile Records).  Ayana later followed up her Hip Hop recording debut in 1996 by spearheading the all-female rapper collaboration produced by DJ Spinna called “Estragen” featuring Ayana, Apani B. Fly, Jean Grae, Pri Da Honeydark, Yejide the Night Queen, Lyric & Helixx C from The Anomalies. Ayana then collaborated with Kool Kim & Haas G from the Hip Hop group UMC’s on the recording “Ya Gotta Know” in 1997. She was also featured along with Eminem, Kool Keith, M.O.P. and many others in a film documentary about New York City underground Hip Hop called “Word” in 1997 directed by Tony Greer.

Ayana’s growing business savvy led her to start Goldeneyes Entertainment and build a home recording studio and production company called Khamouflage Productions. She later went on to release from her label, a limited-edition vinyl 12 inch as well as her first CD, a self-produced EP called “The Khamouflage Project EP”.  After releasing a mixtape called “Double Duty” in 2003, in 2005 Ayana released her second self-produced CD called “Remix Sessions”. In 2008, Ayana made an appearance on “The World Famous Wake Up Show with Sway & Tech” in Los Angeles, CA after competing as a finalist in their “100K Battle” competition. She toured throughout the United States as an artist and DJ and has produced popular remixes of Erykah Badu, Rihanna, Marvin Gaye & Gladys Knight songs.
