ABOUT
North Carolina singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Ashley Virginia, is an artist who has gained attention for her unique songwriting style of introspective poetry and interesting harmonic structure. Her sound has been described as "raw, contemporary angst" by Americana Highways.
Like the spiritual daughter of Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney, her style falls somewhere between '70s Country cool, West Coast cosmic Americana, and ‘60s Rock ‘n’ Roll. While attending a masterclass in Greensboro, 14-Grammy award winning songwriter, Emmylou Harris, categorized Ashley Virginia’s writing as “unique and unusual”. Her artistry is deeply rooted in authentic storytelling, drawing from her own experiences of growth, resilience, and transformation.
Ashley’s songwriting serves as both a healing force and a call for connection. Her lyrics explore the depths of human emotion, touching on themes of hopefulness, healing, social justice, and community. As a queer and neurodivergent artist, she aims to uplift underrepresented voices, creating spaces where vulnerability is met with empathy and creativity is a birthright for all.
With a camper trailer as her home and a guitar in hand, Ashley embraces the freedom of life on the road, bringing her music to new audiences and collaborating with other creatives. She’s known for her warm, engaging live performances and has cultivated a loyal following, both locally and online, through her honest and captivating presence.
Ashley Virginia’s journey is one of evolution, independence, and empowerment. Whether she’s hosting songwriter residencies, leading workshops for young people, or performing on stage, she remains committed to building a community where every voice is heard, and every story is valued.
