ASHLEY ORLANDOLouisiana native Ashley Orlando is a classically trained soprano and public relations professional who found herself in a musical rut 4 years ago. During an unexpected trip to Hawaii, she discovered the magic of the ukulele and hasn’t put the instrument down since. While her voice and communication skills have afforded her the opportunity to sing and teach in the U.S., Canada and Europe, adding the ukulele to her arsenal of skills has propelled Ashley to new musical heights centered around her first love: jazz. Now based in Houston, Texas, she enjoys inspiring others to realize their own personal and professional dreams. Ashley performs throughout the Greater Houston Area with her band, Vintage Point; builds community as a co-leader and outreach organizer for Houkulele, Houston’s Ukulele Club; speaks and educates through the Greater Houston Area District of Toastmasters International; and shares about the healing power of music as an advisory board member for the Ukulele Kids Club.
