  • Bio

    I am a singer/songwriter who began by being an instrumental new-age composer back in 1987, recording several albums for ..New World Music...., some of which topped the new-age/ambient charts around the world, like "Open Secret", "Mystic Heart", "Wings of Fire" and "Concert of Angels". .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. My early recordings were produced by my footballing and cricketing buddy ....Anthony Phillips...., who was a co-founder of Genesis, and my later new-age offerings were produced by chillout arch-wizard ....Phil Thornton...., at his "Expandibubble" studio (which I fondly know as 'Phil's shed!') .. I started to add lyrics from a spiritual perspective, which at the time was unique in the new-age field, and now am more of a mainstream balladeer singing love songs in the troubadour tradition... songs of romantic, courtly, spiritual and mythic love. Some of my imagery and inspiration is drawn from the mystical aspects of major spiritual traditions... Christian, Kabbalistic, Sufi, Daoist and so on... also from mythology, shamanic practices and Jungian psychology. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. My albums are now available on my own independent record label, Singing Stone Music, through my website shop at ....asherquinn.co.uk..... I began to improvise on the piano and play by ear aged three, and there are some piano tracks on my albums, hence I can also be found at ....newagepiano.net.... .. Apart from music, I work as a Jungian psychotherapist and lecturer in depth psychology, and am engaged in shamanic studies and practices; see ....asherquinnpsychotherapy.co.uk.... I am married, have two young sons and live by the river in south west London. .. .. A YouTube promo clip for the UK release of my latest solo album SERPENT IN PARADISE. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. A new YouTube video : A 'live' performance of 'In the bleak midwinter' from my 2008 concert at Violet Hill Studios in London. .. (Remember to switch the Myspace player off before playing videos !!!) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    Well... the profound spiritual simplicity of Leonard Cohen; the startling poetic imagery of Bob Dylan (and hats off to Jakob Dylan, too); the soulful genius of Van Morrison; the humble mastery of Bruce Springsteen; the tender intimacy of Damien Rice; the grizzled wisdom of Johnny Cash... the mournful melancholy of Celtic, Baroque, Slavonic and Jewish folk-music... the various mysteries, charms and lovelinesses of Paolo Nutini, Marianne Faithful, Beyonce, Francoise Hardy, Sinead O'Connor, Georges Moustaki, Enigma, Hans Zimmer, Phillip Glass, Einaudi, Allessandra Celletti, Roger Eno, Anugama, Mike Oldfield, Arlo Guthrie, David Gray, Daniel Lanois, Beyonce (she deserves two mentions), Alicia Keys, Willie Nelson, Rick Nelson & Buddy Holly to name but a few who come immediately to mind... the beautiful game (football)... the shaman's drum... the mystic's revelations... the dervish dance...

    Hi Bruno... thanks for this great review! I'm so glad you like the music this much! Soon I'm putting a guestbook page on my website, and I'd like to put your comments there... I hope that's OK. MySpace has become too difficult a format to maintain, Bruno... they keep making changes which makes it increasingly difficult to add new things... so I don't use it any more. But I use YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/asherquinnmusic) and Facebook. With Facebook, there's one page on my website with an icon link on the home page (www.asherquinn.co.uk) which is a profile, and one page where it's a personal thing. This last one is where all the comments and threads are... google Facebook Asher Quinn, I guess. I still find all these channels a bit confusing! There's always my email address too: asher@quinnland.demon.co.uk
    All good things, Asher.

    Hi Asher,
    Since I have your new album I have listened many time. So I can say now that it's your best of all !! All is in this album: Wonderfull ballads, some sounds of new age style, some songs with faster rythm that usually, a lot of female vocals. A lot of masterpieces in this album: "Song of the blue lotus" "This little bird" "Visions" "Falling through time" "The mystic garden" "Wayfaring stranger" "Forgiveness" (better version than the live version for me) "Amazing grace" (perfect version) "Blessings on your soul". All songs are good in this album. Thanks for this superbe album. All your fans must absolutly have this one ! I hope you'll have big success with it.
    Des ornements instrumentaux magnifiques, la voix envoutante comme toujours, des chansons bien rythmées ( Wayfaring stranger et le surprenant Blessings in your soul) qui lui vont à merveille, nombreux accompagnements de voix féminines qui augmentent encore la qualité des chansons, bref un chef d'oeuvre à écouter sans modération.
    Best wishes

    Hi Asher,

    Thanks for your wonderfull DVD live. We can see now all your emotions when you sing ! However I regret that you don't sing more of your own songs and especially wonderfull songs like "silently spinning" "Elisa" "ancient grief" "By the look in your eyes" "song of eternity" and ancient great songs like "to my only true love" "angel's lullaby" "gypsy madonna" "come away" "Kitiana" "flying away" "my redeemer" "goldenheart" "life is only for love" and the part II of "greensleeves".
    Your greatest albums are for me (not in order) "serpent in paradise" "east of east" "music for love" and ""wings of fire".
    I hope that you'll work soon to make a new album as well or better (if it's possible !!) than "serpent in paradise".
    Best wishes.
