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 !!!) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Influences
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...
