After uploading his beats on Soundcloud under his alter ego LTGL , everything just took off by itself, quicker than he or anyone anticipated. His first release on the Brownswood label soon followed and then later releasing under the Belgian label, Tangram .
Ashley began playing shows all over Europe in no time; Belgium's biggest festivals with Pukkelpop, Dour & Horst , the famous Eurosonic showcase festival in the Netherlands, Low End Theory in Los Angeles and an exclusive Boiler Room performance in Brussels iconic Atomium.
He opened up for the likes of Gaslamp Killer, Ras G, Freetherobots , made a remix for Ashnikko & he could count Giles Peterson (BBC1) , Lefto, Gaslamp Killer, Joe Kay, Ta-Ku, Daedalus, Flume , as his supporters. This all lead to a pinnacle moment - an offer from his dream label, New International Booking Agency , offering a show in South Africa.
Everything he ever dreamed of, but also the moment he decided to leave it all behind.
His turning point? When he realised that his career moved faster than his own artistic development. He was making music to play at his next live show, created to live up to the expectations, not making music for himself anymore. It created this disconnect and which
stopped him from innovating. While everybody loved his music, it just didn't measure up to his personal standards anymore.
After two years he feels ready to share his journey with the world. Releasing brand new authentic music as no alter ego, but Ashley Morgan.
For the first time you will hear him rap and sing on his music. Something he sees a personal challenge to get out his comfort zone looking for personal growth as an introvert. His music is described by him as ‘very personal as it is a way to process his past and heal his inner child’.
Ashley Morgan releases his first track ‘Seaweeds and Algaes‘ September 13 2019 . Taken from the forthcoming 5 track EP Letgoletgoletgo which will be released later this year.
Far more easy listening than previous productions, he’s now come to terms with the fact that great music doesn't always have to be groundbreaking or complicated.
