Get to Know the Artist
A songwriter's sound is often shaped by life experience
A songwriter's sound is often shaped by life experience, drawing tones and colors from the well of life's story. Ashley Lagunas grew up a missionary kid and was accustomed to life on the move. Her well is deep and filled with many life-defining moments.
Ashley remembers; "One of my earliest memories that marked me was on a train bound for my new home; Mexico City. I'd lay on my red velvet bunk looking out the window as we passed shack after shack of homes made of cardboard. My six-year-old perspective was shifting and transforming with each mile the railway made. I was seeing the world, and the world was telling me her story. The train pulled in to the station and my little feet stepped off and touched the soil of their first nation. I was introduced to the abundant life and I was forever changed." There have been many train rides and many nations for Ashley since then.
"My eyes have gotten to see extraordinary things. I've seen whole villages receive Jesus. I've been to places that had never heard there was even a God, let alone a God that loved them. I've slept in huts and woke to the sound of a rushing river. The abundant life can get addicting and let me tell you, I am hooked".
Blessed with a voice that is tender and invading, Ashley Lagunas's music exists to bring hope and courage to the heart of every voyager sailing their sea in life. Her songs are an overflow of her relationship with God. Each song is unique and reflective of her writing style in her ability to funnel God's truth-translating into hope for the listener.

In response to a women's event:
“When Ashley told her stories behind each song and why her heart was compelled to write her songs this touched so many ladies! Especially her song, “God sees me.” Every woman felt as though they were not alone in anything they had going on. They were reminded that God sees everything and this left them feeling encouraged, loved, and full of worth.”
-Calvary Las Vegas - Women's Ministry
"Music has been this space where my life experiences of what I'm facing collide with God's love and truth and another song is born".
Her newest single and music video “Mary Magdalene" invites the listener to experience the powerful encounter between Jesus and Mary Magdalene at the tomb, the morning of His resurrection. “I too have encountered my risen Lord, and I know I will never be the same".
“The response to the song has been deeply touching to see it resonate with others, I wrote this song shortly after I gave my life to Jesus, so it’s a special one for me.”
