Growing up in Southwold, Suffolk, Vashti

the prestigious Angel Recording Studios -
working alongside the UK’s top composers,
arrangers, engineers and songwriters, fully
inspired, she began gigging the London

extensively throughout the UK, Ireland,
Europe and the U.S.

performances and mesmerizing vocals

a few.
Now living in North London Vashti has
recently completed a UK tour and is
recording her debut album as well as
continuing to write music for film.

classic John Cale song “Fear is a man’s best
friend”.
