BATAYAH is a Hebrew name, which means Daughter of Yahweh and BATAYAH like her name, is very unique. Her soulful songs truly express her gift and anointing as a singer, songwriter, composer and producer. BATAYAH began singing at the tender age of 4 years old, in her home church choir and she has been singing every since. She has sang every genre of music from rock and roll, country, folk and classical in school choirs and musical plays, to r&b, funk, neo-soul, jazz and her roots, which is gospel, in groups, church choirs, quartets and as a soloist.

BATAYAH was honored to perform on the Bobby Jones Gospel Word Network Show in March 2011 and has received several music award nominations: She has been nominated for two (2) music awards from the South Florida Gospel Music Awards in November 2011, one (1) music award from the Hollywood Music In Media Awards also in November 2011 and four (4) music awards from the Rhythm of Gospel Awards taking place in July 2012.

BATAYAH has also written a variety of songs as her talent and ability to write and arrange songs is displayed in her previous self titled project “BATAYAH – Daughter of Yahweh” and in her new project entitled “Simply BATAYAH”. The songs will remind you of yesterday's motown style, only with the added flavor of today's r&b, urban and neo soul gospel funk.

BATAYAH was born to a family of 5, with determined and hardworking parents, who struggled to put all of their children through Private School, so that all of them (BATAYAH and her siblings), would know how to lean on the Heavenly Father through all situations with prayer, his word within the Holy Bible and his songs of praise and thanksgiving.

After graduating from High-school, BATAYAH went on to college and received two degrees a Bachelor of Science (BS) and an MBA. She also served as an Officer in the US Armed Forces and became a worldwide praise and worship leader, while serving her country. BATAYAH is married with a son and is truly humbled and thankful for her family and for her anointed gift because she knows who she is and what she was put here to do.


In closing please see one of BATAYAH's favorite scripture's and one of her uplifting quote's below:

"Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to his name:
Extol him that rideth upon the heavens
By his name YAH (Yahweh), and rejoice before him."
Psalms 68:4

He gave it to you so now it's yours: You must Live it, Love it and Do Something Positive With It!
