For Ash Dodd music is a vital means of expression. A self-proclaimed ‘awkward 18-year-old’, Ash discovered the purest way to communicate what's going on inside their head is through music. Exploring topics prevalent in the collective consciousness of Gen Z including the mental health pandemic, social isolation and the universal experience of a teenage crush - Ash has an inherent ability to empathise with those around them and speak directly to the listener. Inspired by the emotional soundscapes of Phoebe Bridgers, Billie Eilish and fellow Sussex songwriter Maisie Peters, Ash aspires to transform sadness into beauty and hopes their music can help those in similar situations find comfort.
