BIO
Hailing from Gosport, UK, Joe and Jay have been crafting music together for over 30 years. With a desire to explore a more unrestricted creative process, they decided to embark on a new project as a duo. In late 2023, Jay reached out to Nik, a former member of 12 Foot Ninja from Melbourne, Australia. Nik immediately connected with their vision, and Ashen Skies was born. Over the next five months, the trio exchanged musical ideas across continents, culminating in their self-titled EP, 'Ashen Skies'. Embracing a free-roaming approach, Ashen Skies thrives on the creative synergy between its members.
