Tu-kay & Ryan are a multi-award winning acoustic duo blurring the lines between folk, Americana and roots music.

They have become known for their lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Their songs encourage a positive outlook on life, even when things may be tough. They are optimists at heart and believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how small or distant it may seem.

Their single Temporal Drifter went to number 1 in the Amazon Folk Charts, for both bestsellers and hot new releases, in May 2022.



Originally from the small village of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire; Ash is today recognised as a music producer, songwriter & musician. He the founder of the independent project studio & record label Tu-kay Records and part of singer-songwriting duo Tu-kay & Ryan.

Ash's musical journey began at 6 years old, as he began to write songs. Over the years since, he has become well-practised on a range of musical instruments. 

It was only natural that his journey of playing and writing would lead him into music production and recording, particularly as a means to record his own material. Ash studied music production for  6+ years in order to strengthen his knowledge base and gain the relative qualifications (notably a degree).

Ash has since worked with a string of well recognised industry professionals throughout his 19+ year of recording and producing music and has recorded and engineered in a wide range of scenarios.
