Chastity Ashley Instagram – Thank you!! @edm “Beats in Hidden Retreats”
This is the most daring musical journey of my life to date: creating beats in the most remote, awe-inspiring locations around the world has always been my dreams and now it’s here. Places where the land breathes life into the music, where beauty and spirit come together and in perfect harmony. This is more than music for me—it’s connection, elevation, and transformation.
But arriving here wasn’t an overnight story. It’s been a lifetime of grit, passion, and resilience—an uphill climb built on thousands of shows, decades of work, and an unshakable belief that I was meant to create something unique.
From my first garage shows as a teenager, to touring with my bands across the U.S., to playing as a percussionist and backup vocalist for Duran Duran, and drumming with Kygo, every step has been part of the story. It took years and years of relentless touring, experimenting, releasing music, and navigating rejection before I even began to find my place.
I’ve played over 2,000 shows across countless cities & counties—from backyard boogies and empty rooms to arenas and festivals. Each one taught me something new: how to fail, how to adapt, and how to grow. There were so many moments of uncertainty, where I wondered if it was all worth it. But through those moments, I found my power.
People said my ideas were impossible, that I couldn’t blend what I loved into one bold vision. But I refused to stop. I pushed forward, and along the way, people saw my light and gave me the opportunities to rise.
Today, I stand here, performing in the wildest & most beautiful places imaginable, blending everything I’ve learned to create my most authentic self. @edm has embraced this journey so I thank you for recognizing my endeavors & for the love as I’m eternally grateful to sooo many of the people who have walked this road with me. There is an endless amount you and you know who you are.
The best is still ahead. Together, we’ll keep climbing. Let’s go even higher.
