Philip Ashley
I have been singing since the age of 6, and classical music is my first love, followed closely by musical theatre. My ambition is to sing with a full orchestra.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
My most memorable performance was singing solo at Buxton Opera House. An experience never to be forgotten.
Your musical influences
I like most types of classical music from baroque through to contemporary, and from dramatic operatic numbers to light and trippy Gilbert & Sullivan. I sing quite a bit of Strauss and some folk and traditional pieces which I've recorded my own backing tracks for.
