A singer/songwriter with equal parts heart, charm and individuality, Sophia Shorai has been a mainstay on the Mpls music scene for the past 10+ years. She was born in Zimbabwe and raised in Mpls, MN. A classically trained pianist, she began exploring jazz in her early teens, learning vocalese from her trumpet-playing father. With five self-released albums under her belt, she mixes old classics, modern revivals and her own pop gems with ease and soul. Shorai has collaborated with many of the Midwest’s finest and most celebrated musicians, has garnered international vocal recognition through television shows and films, and lends her voice to national and regional commercials.

A mesmerizing stage presence with a preternatural command of melody, phrasing and language and an artist capable of putting a spell over the region’s top songwriter rooms at will, Ashleigh has already burned it all down in venues including the Dakota, Icehouse and The Fitz. Having dipped in and out of the Minnesota music scene as the tides of her life allow, Ashleigh has walked the path of an artist on her way to this moment, a journey marked by reconstruction, reinvention, even time spent living in her car. She brings all of this to her brave new banger, Not Fuckin’ Around. Part-lullabye, part country-rocker, it’s a deceptively catchy song that takes more than a few surprise turns. Like all Ashleigh’s best writing, it’s the work of a confident and distinctive chord scientist at the top of her game. It’s just a taste of what is possible from Ashleigh in this moment. Real without pretense, generous in calling up pain and hope in equal measure, Ashleigh is that rare artist defined by her command of the fragile turn of phrase and unfiltered sense of longing and love, a singer-songwriter who brings the richness and ache of her entire life story to every song.
