Born Chastity Ashley in East Los Angeles, she came up as a drummer — first kit at ten, trained at Musicians Institute under KORN Drummer Ray Luzier, then life on the road. That path put her on multiple world tours including Coachella’s Maintage and at Madison Square Garden as touring percussionist and backing vocalist for Duran Duran, and on bills with artists including Skrillex, Tiesto, Kygo, Tom Morello, Cypress Hill, Ben Böhmer, Frank Walker, 3LAU, and Dombresky. Festival stages that include Ultra Music Festival, Your Paradise in Fiji, Palm Tree Music Festival, SWU in Brazil and the list goes on.
Then she built the thing no one else was doing: a hybrid live rig where she DJs, drums, triggers, and sings at once. Her custom stand-up kit — acoustic and electronic, wrapped in a pulsing light show — turns a dance floor into a ritual. The sound sits in primal and organic house, melodic and progressive house, and techno: body music with a pulse you can see.
That same instinct drives Beats In Hidden Retreats, her cinematic performance series shot in places a club was never meant to exist — Fiji’s floating Cloud 9, the Alaskan wilderness, St. Maarten’s mountain peak, a dormant volcano in Joshua Tree. The Alaska episode alone has passed 250K views in a matter of months. The point is the same as the club show: music, landscape, and live risk in the same frame.
