"I love this release. Ashia combines the vocal sensibilites of Elenie Mandel and the avante-garde musical approach of The Dresden Dolls with the intensiveness of P.J. Harvey. How could this not be good? Standouts include the title track, "Pay to be Loved" as well as "Nomanmad" and "Ne me Quitte Pas". Mite Mutant, The ChickenFish Speaks

"Ashia's unconventional sound is sometimes haunting, alternating among broad ranges of styles, volumes, and speeds at most unexpected moments...an album praiseworthy for its sincere originality and stunning musical range", Melanie Fried, Elmore Magazine.
Influenceslife.......Bjork, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Ravel, Debussy, Fiona Apple, Beatles, Bach, Beethoven, Mariza, Jacques Brel, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits, Arvo Part, Prokofiev, Tricky, Rasputina, Joanna Newsom....to name a few
Sounds LikeBjork, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Tom Waits (minus the voice:) ), Tin Hat Trio, Ani Difranco (thanks Laura), Regina Spektor... tell me some more and I'll post them (I especially appreciate male singer songwriters- since I'm a girl I always get compared to the other girls, and the other girls always get compared to the other girls- we become somewhat of a Babushka doll after a while...

Ashia blends sensual and provoking vocals with various colors of the cello ranging from plucked bass lines to sonorous melodic phrases. With her unique and dynamic, classically trained, ability to play cello and sing simultaneously, Ashia created songs with elements of anti-folk, blues, and classical on her self-released album "Pay to be Loved". This album is described as "exuding a dark outlook that recalls Tom Waits and Edith Piaf...her probing lyrics on the underbelly of romance with delirious results", Brad Walseth, Jazz Chicago.com and "Ashia's unconventional sound is sometimes haunting, alternating among broad ranges of styles, volumes, and speeds at most unexpected moments...an album praiseworthy for its sincere originality and stunning musical range", Melanie Fried, Elmore Magazine. At the age of 21, she was invited to play cello and sing at Cirque du Soleil's production of "O" in Las Vegas, NV for four months. She returned a year later, after traveling to Europe and studying, to join "O" full-time. Outside of working at"O", Ashia performed alongside band members of BlueManGroup and cast members of sister Cirque du Soleil shows, as well as completing a BA in music at Central Washington University. Currently, As part of a dyamic cabaret style duet act with an aerial hoop artist, Fernanda Mas Montiero, she sings and plays a version of her CD title song "Pay to be Loved". Since leaving the "O" show in December, 2007 Ashia has enjoyed writing and performing her original songs to enthralled audiences.

Yes, pray tell, who is this handsome young gentleman?

I ate breakfast today at the place where that photo was taken. The girl with the poppies tattooed on her arm waited on me, and seeing her made me want to tell her that you would be coming to visit again later in the summer. I doubt she would have remembered, but surely she would have smiled anyhow.

.. Hi there Ashia first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.

I want to know how it was in Berlin, and how it is in Poland, and if it came any Medical Doctors or Dentists to your gigs.
