Come feel the Joy of Easter Sunday with an evening of Gospel, Jazz & Soul featuring Ashling Cole, Bay Area's own 2020 BET's Sunday Best contestant, with special guest saxophonist, Angelo Luster performing songs from his new CD Release "You're Not Alone" and more. A Soulful evening of Inspiration, Praise & an Easter Celebration you do not want to miss!
Presented by Mark Elliott & The A-List Musiq Circle- Your Bay Area's Who's Who Entertainment Network
ASHLING COLE has been singing all of her life and was accepted into the San Francisco Girls Chorus at just 6 years old to study opera. Six years later she shifted her focus from arias to R&B after hearing Whitney Houston on the radio. After years of making demos as well as dancing professionally, she was signed to Interscope records at 17 years old, recording with producer Teddy Riley. Even though the album was never released, the experience set her up for an audition with legendary "One in a Million" singer and bass player Larry Graham and she's been touring with him ever since. She has also performed and recorded with icons such as Sheila E., Dave Koz, Prince, Jonathan Butler, Kirk Whalum, Bebe Winans, Donnie McClurkin and Kenny Lattimore just to name a few!
Touring came to a halt in 2018 when Ashling was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, but a positive attitude, strong faith in God and the support of her vast community gave her the strength she needed. She declared, "I am already healed, I just have to go through the process."
Gospel music has always been the foundation of everything she writes and produces, so it was no surprise when she auditioned for BET's Sunday Best in 2020, she would soar to the top. Week after week, her testimony of healing came through in every song. Her message of hope and encouragement was much needed as the virtual audience sheltered in place, facing uncertainty amidst a global pandemic.
After finishing 4th in the competition, Ashling immediately went into the studio with Berklee School of Music graduate Marcus McCauley to produce "Exceedingly", a song of triumph she wrote several years prior. A few weeks later she partnered with long-time friend and producer Dave Jackson to release a new take on an old favorite "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" and the classic "You are an Heir" by Donald Lawrence. In 2022, she signed with MMS Records and is currently in the studio recording her next single. Ashling is a worshiper and always has a song as well as a word of prayer, wisdom and encouragement ready for whoever needs it.
