With a voice that holds strength beyond her years, it’s no wonder New York City based Ashley Xtina has already been compared to greats like Adele, Joss Stone, and Kelly Clarkson.
At just 23 years old, Ashley is a force to be reckoned with. Already she’s seen an honorable mention in the American Songwriter Magazine March/April 2014l lyric contest, and performed several times at iconic NYC venues such as The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, and Cameo Gallery.
Previously a member of the rock band Queen of Wands, Ashley ventured into her solo career with the July release of “Stability”, which Music Junkie Press describes as, “four amazingly well written songs that are not only emotionally driven, but completely
capture the listener and transport them to another place.”
Less than a year after “Stability” was released, Ashley is already working on her follow up album. "My music is the way I stay true to myself,” she says. “Every time I write a song I realize things about myself or the situation I'm going through, and every time I
perform my songs, I feel those same emotions I felt as I was writing them. I call that 'honest' music. That's what keeps me writing and really just keeps me alive."
Her new album”Moonstone” will see a shift in focus as Ashley incorporates the soulful blend of “Stability” with the upbeat tempo, instrumentation, and gritty rock edge that fans of Queen of Wands came to love.
“Both of these genres (pop/soul and rock) have been a huge part of my life,” explains Ashley, “and I think the truest expression of myself as a person and artist will come out in combining both of them.”
In July 2015 Ashley Xtina moved across the country to Portland, Oregon to find inspiration, collaborate and perform on the west coast. She wrote her newest single “Streetcar” as a farewell to her past in NYC and a hello to the city of roses. You can listen to the single here: s:///ashleyxtinamusic/streetcar-ashley-xtina.
