Ashley Velvet

Ashley Velvet, also known to her friends as Ashley Vergara, is born to a Mexican father and Korean mother. Ashley grew up in a traditional Korean household, embracing eastern culture and trends. With early influences from Nintendo video games, 80s pop and studio Ghibli animation, Ashley was exposed to theatrical soundtracks and originality in art at a young age. Ashley strives to continue to create music that marries modern sound production style with the relatable comfort of mid century jazz. Ashley Velvet’s strong vocal delivery is reminiscent of the female mid-century pioneers who advocated for social change, gender equality, and cultural representation through music.
