Harnessing her rousing vocals and whimsical, gutsy cello lines, Ashia Grzesik creates songs with elements of cabaret, folk, blues, and pop/punk . Her talents and hard work in classical cello training and voice were noticed at the age of 21, as she was invited to play cello and sing at Cirque du Soleil’s production of “O” in Las Vegas, NV. Her experience with circus performers infected her with a strong interest in theatrical and cabaret performance and upon leaving “O”, she continued to perform theatrically, including in Seattle’s vaudeville Moisture Festival. Ashia has performed in Berlin, her birth city Wroclaw Poland and currently lives in Portland, OR extensively performing her solo works as well as with The Portland Cello Project and Vagabond Opera.
