A first-generation American, Ashley Sarah Beroukhim is a born Angelino with permanent residence in California however proudly holds the blood of history, culture, and revolution in her veins. A child of war-torn, Iranian immigrants; she finds bringing knowledge to her fellow peers and permeating her background into music is one of the strongest tools musicians innately have to emanate tolerance and equality into our constantly developing society. 

​

With a focus on Philosophy and Literature, Ashley completed an Associate's Degree in the Humanities & Fine Arts at Pierce College on the West Coast but needed to pursue the musical career she had sought since she could recall. Even so, she values nothing greater than a broad and cultured education, stating that well-versing oneself with other disciplines only cultivates one's art, if cultivating one's character was not reason enough.

​

Under the stage name, Ashley Zarah, Ashley Beroukhim has released two self-produced and engineered singles (Control, Banshee) followed by her first EP (This Song Again), recently released in January of 2018. She has and continues to be a prolific songwriter in Los Angeles and Boston.

Coming from a background of non-musicians, but music-lovers nonetheless, she understood early that guidance would not be easy to find in the industry. Not wanting her career to succumb to her lack of a musical education, Ashley became self-taught on piano and guitar (currently dabbling with any drum-set she can get ahold of), and pursued music production in her own time. After being accepted into the Music Production & Engineering program at Berklee College of Music, she felt a rush of relief knowing those were two more things she did not have to slave over on her own.
