Ashley Wai’olu Moore hails from Richmond, California, and has spent most of her life in the San Francisco bay area. Her interest in music began at the tender age of four when, after hearing the Beatles for the first time, decided music was what she wanted to do. She has spent all of her life pursuing that goal. Although she played drums and percussion into her twenties, she began playing guitar in seventh grade and began writing and recording original songs almost immediately. Very active in various high school music activities, she was fortunate to perform with award winning vocal ensembles, drama departments, jazz and marching bands at state wide competitions. She then attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where she studied jazz harmony while majoring in Music Production and Engineering. Following her stint at Berklee, she toured parts of the country doing live sound engineering before landing back in the bay area in 1991 as the production manager for a night club featuring national touring artists. Simultaneously, she began recording and producing records in earnest, trying to help promising bands reach their potential at the various recording studios where she worked. Throughout this time she was also writing and performing original music around the bay area. Then, in 1996, she opened her own studio and has been fiercely independent ever since. Today she is working in a variety of different capacities. As a composer, performer, producer and engineer, her work can be heard on radio, television, theater and film. While her production schedule remains busy and fulfilling, she occasionally finds time to work on or perform music from her forth coming CD, titled "Shape Shifting." In 2001, she launched the internationally acclaimed Transcendence Gospel Choir, a ground breaking music ministry. In 2010 she launch a new band/collective called Critical Bliss.   Production site | Critical Bliss sitehttp://www.ashleymoore.comhttp://www.criticalbliss.comshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
