Ash Morse
Solo Artist — NSW
About
Ash Morse is an award-winning composer and performer from Sydney who loves deep stories and telling them through music. He writes in a variety of genres, from piano ballads to full orchestral, cinematic scores and doesn't shy away from intense emotions, whether they are joyful, painful or deeply nostalgic. At just 20, Sydney artist and composer Ash Morse dared to take the path less traveled; he left the security of the Conservatorium of Music to follow his instincts—writing, producing, and releasing his debut, genre-straddling album Lost in the Music and fronting a self- funded seven-piece band. His subsequent electrifying live shows quickly drew the attention of industry heavyweight Glenn A. Baker, who was so impressed he called Channel 9 and secured Ash a national TV performance within days. The live performance led to a repeat appearance, an ABC feature, and a wave of national radio interviews, performances and recognition. Despite early momentum, the financial strain of leading a large band without industry backing or mentorship forced Ash to pause his career and train in another field—vowing to return when he could afford to create sustainably. Though music never truly left his life, he didn’t return to full capacity until 2019. After the sudden passing of his father, who died before achieving his goals, Ash was driven to pursue his art with renewed purpose. Despite Sydney lockouts, lock downs, venue closures, shrinking music revenue, industry uncertainty, and skyrocketing living costs, Ash worked three jobs, seven days a week, to fund a new body of work born from years of quiet innovation and creative evolution. The costs and time demands were almost insurmountable until a silent patron—moved by the impact of Ash’s earlier music—lifted the financial burden, freeing him to focus entirely on his craft. This major turning point, along with his introduction to producer and engineer, Ryan Miller, ushered in a new era of unprecedented creative output that continues to this day. Since the release of his second album in 2022, Ash has delivered new music every year, winning awards, industry recognition, and a growing audience. Now, in 2025, he’s preparing his boldest artistic statement yet—‘Nowhere Land’- a genre-shattering, mind altering, 45 minute musical masterpiece that opened to a standing ovation at its pilot Avoca Theatre show in mid July. Nowhere Land is now set to expand across to theatres across the country and around the globe.
