Ashley Wallbridge
Having gained himself a charging position as one of electronic music’s most esteemed DJs and producers, Ashley Wallbridge rides his own fresh wave of sonic creativity in and out of the studio. His musical acumen is second to none, a sentiment reflected by countless remix requests from industry leaders such as Avicii, Havana Brown, Krewella, Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery & more.
Turning to blank slates, Ashley’s own originals grow in number and acclaim each year, with notable releases having topped dance music charts (iTunes, Beatport, AudioJelly), streamed in the millions (Spotify) and received regular airtime from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and Danny Howard, Avicii himself, David Guetta, W&W, Armin van Buuren, Dash Berlin & more.
Wallbridge is no stranger to commercial success. His 2012 debut album “The Inner Me” reached #5 on the iTunes USA charts, #9 in Canada and #12 for the UK. Migrating the tunes to the crowds, his live performances have taken him from Europe to the USA and as far as Australasia, appearing at many prestigious venues including Exchange (Los Angeles), Omnia (San Diego), Ministry of Sound (London, UK) and Privilege, Ibiza. Ashley’s ever-growing demand from fans has seen him perform at major festivals including Creamfields (Australia), Global Gathering (UK) and Sunset Music Festival (USA). What’s more, his unique style has led to him touring with superstars ‘Armin van Buuren’ (Brazil, Netherlands), ‘Alesso’ (Isreal) and even securing his own residency at famous Las Vegas hot spot ‘Marquee’.
In 2016 Ashley signed an exclusive deal with worldwide record label & distributor “Armada Music” and released an onslaught of powerhouse records. His discography to date includes notable chart placements and a growing monthly audience of over 400,000 listeners, generating millions of streams on key platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. (See discography below for stats).
Following his term as an exclusive artist with Armada, Ashley turned his own hand to the record label business and became co-owner of Garuda Music, a boutique label approaching its 10-year anniversary. Wallbridge’s fresh musical policy and charismatic approach led to a resurgence in the label’s popularity, bolstered even more by the release of his own 2018 hit single ‘Surrender’, together with dance music icon ‘Darude’.
Going into 2019, Ashley is due to release his second artist album (May 10th, 2019), this time with long time friend and collaborator Gareth Emery. He’ll also be performing on four major electronic music festivals including Creamfields (UK), Dance Valley (Netherlands), Mid Summer Festival (Finland) and Euphoria Festival (Poland). Looking further beyond, he is set to continue touring globally with a series of shows promoting his 2019 album as well as ongoing showcase events celebrating Ashley and other artists associated with his record label Garuda.
