Beguiling, earthy, vibrant, warm, unexpected... and maybe even a bit magical. Ashley Fayth’s whimsical songs are thoughtfully crafted and delivered, but with the simplicity and natural ease “of a clear river over rounded stones”, according to talent agent and industry guru Robert Singerman.
Hailing from the island of Newfoundland, a hotbed for some of Canada's best storytellers and creative writers, the award-winning songstress delivers musical short stories saturated with colourful imagery and poetic prose.
David Farrell of the leading entertainment blog NewCanadianMusic.com credits Ashley with having “a voice as clear and as beautiful as Waterford crystal,” and with “writing songs that are guiless enough to make you smirk and blush. In fact, it is not hard to call her sweetheart”.
Cleverly knit lyrics, playful rhythms, and flawless vocal delivery come together to form beautiful songs that are at once moving, witty, thought-provoking, and entertaining - a quirky yet enticing synthesis of the earthy and the ethereal.
And although Ashley’s dark side does surface in some of her more sombre and seductively haunting renditions, her sound is still overwhelmingly playful, refreshingly poppy, and irreproachably sweet.
Her latest single, “Peanut Butter” has picked up songwriting awards with Universal Music and the Canadian Songwriters Association, and been featured on BBC Radio 2 and CBC Radio, as well as U.S. and Canadian regional and college stations. The young Newfoundlander's recent success has landed her invitations to perform at leading industry events like CMJ, SXSW, Liverpool SoundCity, and Canadian Music Week, as well as top festivals, and has led to her songs being included on various compilations and and radio charts.
