What is Ashe's story?

Ashe grew up in San Jose, where from early on she showed interest in music. She began playing the piano at six, and then proceeded to write original songs during her adolescence. She briefly attended community college before going to Berkley in Boston. In college, she majored in Contemporary Writing and Production. After college, she moved to Nashville where she hoped to take her songwriting and production to the next level. Her production work caught the attention of Swedish DJ Ben Phipps, who brought Ashe on board to collaborate with him in "Sleep Alone." The song went viral and it opened the path for Ashe to work with other artists like Louis the Child.
