Ashley Heyes - They Called My Name

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.

THEY CALLED MY NAME
I left you alone in this bitter world
Didnt mean to cause you harm
Cause once I couldnt think about
Being without you
But something on my route changed
And you werent there when they called my name
I turned to see youd gone
Looked everywhere
But found an empty room
I closed my eyes
To find us dancing
And you held me tightly
I was alone

I could see you
I was looking down
But all I saw was a sad, sad man
Whod fallen deep, deep inside himself
Who couldnt see what was happening
And you werent there when they called my name
I turned to see youd gone
Looked everywhere
But found an empty room
I closed my eyes
To find us dancing
And you held me tightly

Our paths werent meant to be
So full of anxiety
So full of getting to wherever it was
We wanted to be
And when we got there
There was nothing to follow
Our future was held in uncertainty

They called my name
I turned to see youd gone
Looked every where
But found an empty room
I closed my eyes
To find us dancing
You held me tightly
I was alone
I was alone
