In a world of abundant musical talents and the ever-expanding New Age music genre, Ashana emerges as a consummate artist of sound and healing with a style uniquely her own. Weaving together soaring, angelic vocals in an exquisitely crafted, luminous sonic tapestry, Ashana’s music has been described as Enya meets Hildegard of Bingen. Profoundly peaceful and soothing, this stunningly beautiful alchemy penetrates and opens the heart with healing music that has been called “breathtaking” and “pure Manna, direct from Heaven.” Classically trained, Ashana graduated with a degree in vocal studies from the prestigious Mannes College of Music in New York City, and for years performed as soloist and ensemble member in New York’s early music scene. Moving from ancient to contemporary, she immersed herself in theater, jazz, pop and children’s music as performer, recording artist, songwriter and teacher.

All is Forgiven

From the quiet center of the Heart, September 28, 2006

Produced by Thomas Barquee who has a magical ear to hear when the sounds do come from the quiet center of the heart, this CD shines with its own light bringing not only love and peace into our mind body spirit but also a very strong centeredness that will help us, if we so attune, ground ourselves in this particular and sacred space within. Use the sound currents to walk yourself into this quiet center of the heart. Thanks Ashana and Barquee!
