Ashten's Reviews

From customers:

VO

I have had the opportunity to work alongside Ashten, as well as have the privilege to share the stage with her. Ashten’s voice is one of the best voices I’ve ever heard in my life, by far. She used it to her advantage to suit different styles - belting, mix, jazz-feel, etc. If you are wanting advice from a true professional, Ashten will not disappoint.

One of the best voices I’ve ever heard, Ashten could sing the phone book and I would enjoy it.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer iPod music in between sets for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as the PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I’m definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, absolutely.
