Ashley Wallbridge Explained
Ashley Wallbridge (born 28 February 1988 in Stoke-on-Trent) is an English DJ, producer, and remixer. Known for his unique sound and big room tracks, his debut album, The Inner Me, was released on 9 March 2012 on Armada Music.[1]
Wallbridge began his DJ career at the age of 15, initially entering a BBC Radio 1 DJ competition using a fake ID, which led to early recognition.[2]
Wallbridge's album The Inner Me reached #5 on the iTunes USA charts, #9 in Canada, and #12 in the UK.[3]
He has performed in over 70 countries, including notable venues such as Hakkasan in Las Vegas, Exchange in Los Angeles, Omnia in San Diego, Ministry of Sound in London, and Privilege in Ibiza. He also holds a residency at Marquee in Las Vegas. His festival appearances include Creamfields, Global Gathering, EDC, and Tomorrowland.[4]

In 2021, Wallbridge released the album Ready For Life, a project he began during a near-fatal battle with meningitis. The album was created from his hospital bed and is a testament to his resilience and artistic vision. It features 13 tracks, including collaborations with artists such as Gavin Beach and Sarah de Warren.[6]
Wallbridge’s discography includes notable singles such as "Surrender" with Darude, which reached #1 on the Beatport charts in 2019.[7] He has also remixed tracks for artists like Avicii, Havana Brown, Krewella, Armin van Buuren, and Gareth Emery.[8]
