SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

I have been playing and studying the piano for 21 years and as far as classical is concerned I am upper intermediate level. I am a vocalist and my style is indie/folk or rock leaning. I write music electronically, and have been producing professionally for 4 years.

I can perform music by sight and by ear. I would love to play many shows a week. Creative Harmonies, and Composition are things that I love to create. I enjoy most styles of music and have done everything from cover work in classic rock, country, and top 40 to Original writing for Metal, Broadway, Indie, and Dance music; so don't be afraid to reach out if you're looking to hire someone even if it's just for one track.

I enjoy playing live, but I am also a video game music composer. I have worked on some tribute remixes, Game Jams, Indie Games, and You Tube intros/outros/ambience. You can find some of my recent work on my website sonikbuster.wix/sonikbuster . I have also played and toured with bands in Virginia and Tennessee.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Ashley Lynn Watts
