Hi, my name is Ash Wilson. It's good to meet you.
 
Growing up in the sleepy county of Lincolnshire music was one thing that held my attention. After experimenting with Piano and drums I eventually found myself strapped onto an electric guitar. Drawn to the Blues music my parents introduced me to, (by artists such as Muddy Waters, Son House and Albert King), I realised that the music I wanted to play was that of substance and meaning. I wanted to be involved in creating a sound that transcended the narrow and manufactured music I had previously been exposed to. Upon leaving the Sam Newsom Music College I realised that in order to do this the focus needed on the song rather than trying to cram in flashy guitar solos.
 
In 2001 I co-founded a band called The Melt (called so due to our wish at the time to be a 'melting pot' of genres). While this band had a short life it did act as a launch pad for my career and introduced me to song writing. After three years of touring the British Isles releasing our first and only self titled album (lauded “debut of the year” by Blues Matters Magazine) I was ready to try my hand at being a front man and principle song writer.
 
This next project I was involved with was called DJUNE. Again, founded again by myself and this time my brother Phil Wilson I decided to continue with developing my craft as a song writer. Working alongside producer Wayne Proctor (King King, Aynsley Lister, Tantrum), a batch of songs were written and recorded which led to the band performing with Ocean Colour Scene, The Kooks and Pigeon Detectives as well as appearing on the bill of the 2009 Summer Sundae Festival. During this period I also worked alongside Scott Mckeon for the artist James Parker and worked on an album entitled '40 Years of thunder' by Ian Gill Franklin as a guitarist, bassist and co-producer.
 
2012 saw the beginning of Infamous Vampires. This project once again co-founded with my brother was created as a canvas for me to indulge in a darker setting and delve into a more complex place both lyrically and musically. At present we are set to release our debut self titled album at the end of May. Also In 2014 I became a full time member of the Sean Webster Band. I was particularly drawn to this project not only because of Sean's songwriting but also as I up to this point had not had a great deal of experience as a side man and felt it would be a fun and challenging project for me to be involved in. Along with recording and performing I have continually worked as a Guitar Tutor in schools across the county as well as working as a lecturer at Access to Music College Lincoln. Through both of these activities I have found the work to have been both challenging and rewarding. That's the story so far, thank you for having a look at my website and I hope to see you soon.
