About the music...

Jazz Motif- I wrote this song for a guy who wanted to hire me as a composer for his short film. So, I presented this to him without any compensation or signed contract. NEVER do this if you are a composer! I learned a valuable lesson!!

Fortis- Most of the instrumentals I write, I do so with a something visual in mind...perhaps a movie, commercial ad, video, etc. One of my favorite things to do is to combine the genres I like to produce my personal style.

So Fly- I wrote this song for a movie short that my husband wrote and directed. The short can now be viewed on his website for free :) @ www.stephenkpowell.com or just watch the movie below. Enjoy, leave a comment and thanks for viewing Damsels In Distress.

About Me...

Ashera J. Powell (formally Jermaine Powell) has dreamed of being a musician and composer ever since she was a child. Born and reared in the “Windy City” of Chicago, she was influenced by all forms of music ranging from the provocative lyrics of Sting and the Police to the timeless soul of Earth, Wind & Fire. At the age of 10, her family moved to Greenville, Mississippi. Despite the segregated social climate and abundance of naysayers, Ashera's time in Greenville served as a training ground for strength, character, and personal style. Never allowing her preferences to be defined by what is culturally acceptable or cliché, these and other artists helped to shape the hub of her musical diversity.

Spending part of her undergraduate studies at Howard University as a chemistry major, Ashera quickly realized that the sciences didn’t fulfill her, so she auditioned for the Fine Arts Department. At this institute of higher learning, she played all types of music ranging from classical to jazz and with perseverance completed her degree in music.

Ashera currently received her first credit on IMDB for scoring the short film "Damsels In Distress." She also is credited as one of the executive producers and the voice of Jane. Damsels In Distress premiered at the 10th Anniversary of the Hollywood Black Film Festival in June of 2009.

Indeed! Sorry for my part in that. :P

I'm really trucking on music finally. My studio is working. I'm productive. Wow. Amazing. Looks like I'll be on a couple comps this year at least. I was born to write my own music. I don't know what took me so long to get to this point.
