Ashley Fayth is a pop singer and songwriter from Newfoundland, Canada. Raised in a small fishing community on the province’s east coast, she starts singing before she can walk and teaches herself guitar at the age of seven.

She grows up listening mainly to traditional folk music and her parents’ collection of new country chart-toppers. While still in high school, she writes and records her self-titled debut album, which attracts media attention and industry interest across Canada. Actor Gordon Pinsent describes her as a “rising star.”

After beginning an Honours degree in English Literature at Memorial University, she starts to experiment more widely with musical styles. She develops an interest in contemporary pop-folk through artists including Damien Rice, Missy Higgins, Lisa Hannigan and Amelia Curran, and this helps shape her work as a singer-songwriter.

Ashley Fayth co-writes and performs “Do it Right,” a track featured in the Xbox game Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2. The game sells more than 580,000 copies worldwide and reaches chart positions across Europe, Canada and America. She also performs extensively in intimate lounge, restaurant and pub settings, and has headlined auditorium shows as well as appearing frequently on radio and television.

She divides her time between Chester, England, and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
