Captivating audiences with her lovable authenticity and dynamically enchanting performances, Ashcoustics is a Canadian-South African multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter empowering listeners in a lonely world. Her songs pour out stories from her own life and the lessons she's learned along the way, with the intention to reach out and remind listeners that there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how dark it gets. Her sound is saturated in poetic lyricism complemented by a unique blend of country, folk, pop, indie, and rock.

​

Raised in South Africa, Ash began her music career in the beautiful Mother City of Cape Town and performed across the nation for three years. Ready to take things to the next level, she self-funded her debut EP No More, along with a debut music video and a launch show at the well-established Harrington's Cocktail Lounge in Cape Town. The release saw impressive traction for an emerging independent artist, with multiple local and global press features/reviews, a nomination for Best Music Video at the South African Independent Film Festival, and a live showcase of the EP on the South African national broadcasting television show 'Expresso Show'.

​

After her debut, Ash set her sights on new horizons, packed up her life as a marketing manager in South Africa and dedicated herself to music full-time in the Great White North, where she joined her family in Canada. She enrolled in a Music Business program at Durham College in Oshawa to gain deeper industry insights and has been taking Canada by storm ever since. Her debut Canadian show was held at the esteemed Horseshoe Tavern just months after her arrival, and she was selected to join the Canadian Musicians Co-Operative as an emerging artist over the summer of 2024.

​

During her first Canadian summer, Ash hosted acoustic brunch sessions every Sunday at Bond St. Events Centre and spent her time in the sunshine busking across the GTA and Durham Region. Collaborating with musicians, she formed a three-piece ensemble and performed on her first festival stage at Embody Fest in August 2024. Ending the season with a bang, she then performed at an artist showcase concert with the Canadian Musicians Co-Operative at the Bradford Carrot Fest and the ONXS Music Festival in Barrie

​

Currently, Ash is spending the winter writing a new record with a full band and is hosting songwriter showcase sessions at Boston Pizza in Whitby every Friday night, all while finishing college. She is a force to be reckoned with and is only just getting started.
