About Brooke Ashley

 
Portrait of Brooke Ashley

Singer/songwriter guitar player originally from denver, CO. Genres: acoustic, alternative, pop, rock.

Growing up I was strongly influenced by my grandfather Les James, a Hungarian Jazz pianist. My first instrument was therefore piano, and I have continued using piano basics for writing and playing. Starting in elementary school I played clarinet for 6 years, saxaphone for 2, drums for 3. I picked up guitar 5 years ago for personal accompaniment. I began singing in 10th grade and have chosen it as my principle instrument to study at Berklee, which is the first formal training I will have had on any instrument. I have played with a few jam bands, and played for many open mics and school events over the past 4 years.

While at Berklee I intend to pursue a double major in Music Production and Engineering, and Songwriting. As for career plans, I hope to be successful in either of these areas, and I guess if I was forced to be a Rock Star, I could deal with that too ; )

“This is one of the most original writers I have heard in a long time and being a product of the 60s and 70s, I can appreciate her originality and sensitive song subjects.

The music business is such a difficult and challenging collection of rejection and disappointment but every once in a while there is a glimmer of hope and that is evident in Brooke’s voice and music.”
