Ashley Heyes playing "I Deserve" at The Zodiac Sessions open mic night in Bruxelles bar, Dublin, Ireland.
ASHLEY HEYES
From the early age of eight, Irish born Ashley Heyes would be found tinkering away on her Great Grandfathers grand piano. By sixteen she was spending hours practising her singing on her own piano and began to write songs.
Having completed her study at The Ballyfermot Rock School in Dublin and LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts), she continued in the Music Industry having success with the release of a co-written song for a children's charity in Ireland. She furthered her live performance experience mainly around Dublin in venues such as The Temple Bar Music Centre and the famous Vicar Street.
Ashley has been described as having an 'infectious enthusiasm' when performing and is gaining a following where ever she plays. With her unique piercing vocals, soulful and full of warmth, Ashley is captivating audiences where ever she plays. She writes songs of endearing depth in which her listener can identify with. Grounded and staying true to herself, her honesty shines through in her music as she expresses herself through her memorable lyrics and melodies. She will often be found playing in music venues full of ambience and good atmosphere such as The Bedford and Halo in London.
Heavily inspired from a young age by Barbra Streisand and Karen Carpenter, she has lately been described as a blend of Alicia Keys, Jewel, Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell with some Kate Bush thrown in. With her Irish lilt coming through now and then, Ashley is a one off with a very individual sound and has something that her audience's and listener's are wanting to be a part of.
