An in-demand collaborator, he has performed and recorded with Grammy and ARIA Award winning artists and producers, contributing to projects that have reached audiences in the millions. In 2026, Ashley was awarded the Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Creative Fellowship, supporting a 3 month trip to New York City to undertake intensive study at the Tribeca Jazz Institute.
