Music has always been an integral part of Ashley Esper's life. During her upbringing, Ashley’s parents wholeheartedly encouraged her and her siblings to explore the world of music. Instruments were learned, dance lessons were taken, and a deep appreciation for live performances was cultivated. Cherished childhood memories revolved around singing harmoniously with her family during car rides and engaging in her father's music trivia games.

When Ashley reached the age of 12, she decided to embark on a journey with the guitar, eagerly teaching herself a handful of chords. This humble beginning quickly evolved into countless hours spent refining her skills after school, leading to a passionate obsession with music. It was during this time that she started crafting her own original compositions. 

In her high school years, Ashley assumed the role of an acoustic guitar instructor as her first job. Simultaneously, life presented her with the challenge of dealing with a chronic autoimmune disease that significantly impacted her well-being. Despite the hardships she faced, which included the loss of friendships and extracurricular activities, music remained her unwavering source of solace and joy. 

Over the ensuing decade, Ashley's life was marked by a series of highs and lows. Amidst earning both her bachelor's and master's degrees, she navigated through numerous hospital stays due to her health condition. Her journey led her to remarkable opportunities in the business world, where she founded and managed startup companies. 

As her health gradually improved and she found herself at a pivotal juncture in her professional journey, Ashley made the bold decision to fully dedicate herself to music. She aspires to share her uniquely crafted songs with a wider audience. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of musical luminaries including Ed Sheeran, Julia Michaels, Sia, Anne-Marie, ZZ Ward, and Kodaline, Ashley's vision for her music is to create a sanctuary of positivity. She yearns to provide her listeners with not only a sense of connection but also a wellspring of encouragement and validation.
