Aslyn has a knack for picking out lemon cars and bad relationships. Luckily, she also has a talent for taking her own personal experiences and turning them into popular and moving songs. Her debut album, Lemon Love, hit the charts running and has not slowed down since.
She signed with Yamaha and chose the P250 to help her songwriting and performances. So now, when Aslyn makes her musical lemonade, she does it with the best and her fans are eager for more.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade or in Yamaha pianist, Aslyn's, case, make a hit album and sign with the world's top instrument and artist affairs corporation.
Singer, songwriter, Aslyn, began playing the piano when she was only seven in her hometown of Gainesville, Florida. She studied classical piano at first, performing for churches, weddings, school and pretty much anywhere else where there was a stage and an audience. When she graduated from high school, Aslyn decided to leave home in pursuit of her dream of becoming a successful musician. She landed in Atlanta and never looked back.
Aslyn is now a Yamaha artist. She uses the Yamaha P250 while recording and performing on her various television, and stage appearances.
Aslyn's first album, "Lemon Love," has several special meanings in the title alone that are close to her heart and her personal experiences. The title of the debut album came from Aslyn's own revelations about her love life and her uncanny ability to always choose a lemon at the car lot. Like her album, she has a light, fun side and also a deeply emotional side that translates her own heartbreaks, experience and dreams in her music.
Aslyn describes her songs and album as "stories of love found and love lost, of loyalty ruined and masks mistaken, of the ironic freedom and glass box of religion and of the desire and passion for an unknown tomorrow."
Luckily for avid listeners, Aslyn has moved past her love trials and remained dedicated to her musical talents. Her music was influenced by the sounds of Queen, Coldplay, The Corrs, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles. In 2002, Aslyn traveled to Los Angeles to play for several labels. She was immediately offered a deal with Capitol records and began recording with Guy Chambers (who also worked with Robbie Williams) and Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age and Third Eye Blind).
"Every car I've ever owned has turned out to be a lemon. Of course, that revelation would come only once I'd spent more on repairs than the car was worth!" said Aslyn. "My beat-up cars have, one by one, all fallen apart on me. And ironically love has done the same. The minute you aren't paying attention comes the breakdown."
Aslyn continues her "relentless pursuit" in her musical journey. She writes and records all the time now and has also joined another Yamaha artist, Gavin Degraw, as his opening act. She also toured with Marc Broussard. Her piano style is innovative and strong, a perfect fit for the Yamaha family of legendary innovators.
