Hi There! My name is Ashley, I'm a Cellist looking to studying Music Performance and Composition. My background is Mexican, both my parents are born there and I grew up in a Mexican household but live most of my time in Canada. My passion is music, I play in an orchestra when I'm home in Toronto/GTA. My main instrument as I said is Cello, but I play a lot of Clarinet as well. Fluent in English and Spanish, and some French. Also play guitar and love gigging and open mics!

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music I love anything Rock and Roll. I love the Rolling Stones, The Strokes, The Avett Brothers, The Growlers, Keaton Henson, and composers like Benjamin Britten. And many more!
I love any Terantino or Burton film but my fav film is The Big Lebowski. The dude abides!
I love to read any Dean Koontz books, along with horror books from authors like V.C Andrews. I also enjoy some good old classics like any Charles Dickens books, Herman Medivelle, and The Mexican Author Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I love poetry as well, Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson are some favs.
