LIVE: JANELLE ASHLEY

Janelle Ashley is an Australian-born Filipino alt-R&B vocalist, songwriter and performer. Her artistry embodies a hypnotic blend of jazz and contemporary R&B, infused with the soulful essence of icons such as Erykah Badu, SZA, Jorja Smith and Snoh Aalegra. Originally from rural Western Australia, Janelle has worked her way up from singing Filipino-style karaoke in her living room, to becoming a graduate of the esteemed Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), to becoming an established vocalist in Melbourne/Naarm’s vibrant live music scene. Her latest release ‘Keep Up’ is a product of the musical collaboration between herself and local heavyweights/close friends: Jake Amy and Jesse Chin-Quan. ___ This gig is proudly hosted by Workshop as part of the 10,000 gigs initiative supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria Creative Victoria #creativevic #10000gigs #livemusic
