Not your average San Diego, CA artist, Ash Easton sees as her mission the disruption of the local music scene. Returning to her roots and her name, she’s ready to light the music scene on fire. She has spent much of her life perfecting her craft, and is well rounded in the art of music. She pulls creativity from artists like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Whitney Houston, Brandi Carlile, and Chris Stapleton. As a Puerto Rican, Ash also finds inspiration from the Latin community. Her writing isn’t for the faint of heart—she serves it raw and real, but pulls you in with authentic connection, while believing that is the point of music.She was nominated for three San Diego Music Awards in 2023 and won Best New Artist, and was nominated for the 2024 SDMA in the Best Rock Artist category.
