Ashley Orlando

Vocalist, Ukulele Artist, Charisma Coach

Ashley Orlando is a jazz vocalist, ukulele artist and charisma/mental fitness coach who loves using music to help high-achieving women release self-doubt, find their voice, and achieve their full potential on their own terms.

Originally from Louisiana, Ashley’s childhood dream was to become the voice of a Disney princess. But life intervened and eventually music got placed on the backburner. While completing a master's degree in Paris years later, Ashley connected with the French jazz scene, dancing swing and listening to live bands in the same underground caveau joints that musical greats like Sidney Bechet once played. A subsequent move to Texas and chance encounters with the ukulele and the kazoo prompted her to jump head-first into the Houston and international ukulele music scenes. Now Ashley combines her extensive professional background in public/intercultural relations and community-building with her music to inspire & coach others to step outside their comfort zones and lead more fulfilling lives.
