Meet Tracey Elizabeth

About Me

A Little Lagniappe

Born with the authentic New Orleans soul, my birth at Charity Hospital, known as "The Heart of NOLA," marked the beginning of my journey. After a fruitful career as a High School Educator, I proudly hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. Alongside my teaching endeavors, I am a Nationally Certified EMT and Pharmacy Technician.

My passion for singing can be traced back to my earliest days in the Baptist Church and School Choir. As a New Orleans Singer, Songwriter, Culture Bearer, and Creative, my artistic roots run deep. It was in the vibrant setting of "Congo Square" that I found a true sense of belonging, immersing myself in the harmonious rhythm of the drums and connecting with the guiding spirits of our Ancestors. This experience led me to embrace the captivating Black Masking Tradition and the sacred practice of IFÁ.

In my life's journey, I have become a champion of healing and transformation. I firmly believe that my radical healing is a testament to the divine presence of Olódùmaré (GOD), the guidance of my Ancestors, and my spiritual devotion to West African Spirituality, specifically "IFÁ."

I am eternally grateful to my Spiritual God Parents, Olúwo and Olóyè Ìyálóde Ìyánifá Bamgbàlà Olátúnjí-Arẹ̀sà, for their unwavering support and guidance in nurturing my spiritual development.

Blessed with a diverse range of creative talents, I proudly embrace my identity as a multidisciplinary artist. As a Singer, Songwriter, and Graphic Designer, I find joy in bringing my artistic visions to life.

#IAm a true testament to the beauty and artistic richness that emanates from the heart of New Orleans.

I am gifted to be a multidisciplinary creative  artist: #IAm Singer, Songwriter, Graphic Designer, Photographer, Actress, Griot, Model, & Dancer. I use my gifts to honor and celebrate all the benevolent ancestors that came before me. I am because the ancestors were “Ubuntu”.

Aaye “Life” Creates opportunities for many art inspired collaborations of every discipline.  

As a songwriter I am privileged to have recorded my first project, “Presence And Precarity” with the incredible Kelly Love Jones, whom is an amazing songwriter, singer and artist.

Presence And Precarity was created for Preservation Hall Foundation Archives to honor the art exhibition “Presence & Precarity”.

As an artist I have been afforded the opportunities to work with Scott Bakula, LeVar Burton, CC Pounder, Daryl  Mitchell, Niecy Nash, Regina King, Keanu Reeves, Allen Toussiant, Quint Davis, Solange, Ben Jaffe, Preservation Hall Legendary Musicians Charlie Gabriel, Daniel “Weenie” Farrow, Louis Ford, Rickie Monie, Brandon Lewis, Craig Klein, Ronell Johnson, Kyle Roussel, Clint Maedgen, Kevin Lewis, Shannon Powell, Will Smith, Wendell Brunious, Mark Braud, Glen Finister Andrews, Kerry “Fatman” Hunter, Kerry Lewis, Grayson Brockamp, Joe Lastie, Meghan Swartz, Mari Watanabe and many more. I live a thankful, grateful and appreciative life as I have been restored to my Royal Congolese title of Princess “Ọmọ’Ba” Ngondu of Democratic Republic of Kongó by HRH Queen Diambi Kabatusuila Tshiyoyo Muata. She is Queen of the Luntu people in Kasai, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and also Grande Mãe do Povo Bantu Brasileiro - Traditional Queen of the African descendants of Brazil.

I welcome you to journey with me to explore art from its genesis to revelation. 𝑨𝒂𝒚𝒆༆𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 
Aaye Creates is my creative expression of art driven by life force energy. 

I thrive collaborating with others, and I desire to see every sentient being reach their highest destiny. I am no stranger to art and artistic expressions; in this time of my life, I get to share and birth, what has been living on the inside of me.
I give myself permission to be vulnerable and daring to be successful with bold intentions, thoughts and actions. 
Last year 2023 I wrote in published my first song, and I am so proud of myself! 
I have so many songs and projects to share with the universe.  I won’t be limited or defined by any standard this time.
I am free! 
My art life does not require my degree or any medical licenses. 
I am free to be! 
I hope what I share here will be of added value to someone.  My infinite life is a master class for everyone.
The teacher arrives with the student is ready; and if you’re reading or listening to this, you’re ready. 
Let’s go for it!!! 
I have affirmed this year:

  1. I will arise strong and wise
  2. I will be my inner being
  3. I have healed my intimacy
  4. I will shine my light
  5. I will walk in peace
  6. I will be divine in my character and actions
  7. I will be a creative and co-creator with GOD “The Universe”
  8. I will be kinetic alchemy
  9. I will be a movement of love and healing
  10. I will become the sound and frequency of LOVE, PEACE, & HEALING
  11. I am UNITY; Unerring Nacreous Incredibly Talented Youthful human being.

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your soul.
