Music Bio
Ashley Orlando is a jazz vocalist, ukulele artist and charisma coach who loves using music to help people find their voice (whether musical, spoken or creative) and connect to joy in their lives. A classically trained soprano, Ashley fell in love with the creativity and playfulness of jazz as a kid, but she felt too quiet and shy to give it a try. A very windy road through Wales, France, Wisconsin and Texas finally led this Louisiana native to pick up her now trademark ukulele 5 years ago and start exploring this dream genre.
Today Ashley’s warm, angelic voice evokes a more glamorous era. Her tight phrasing and pitch-perfect melodies transport audiences to a time when the standards flowed live into homes from the big-city studios and grand hotels. Her haunting renditions do honor to the originals and bring a fresh perspective to Traditional Jazz and the Great American Songbook.
