Ashley Daneman has a beautiful, highly trained voice. After completing self-education as an opera singer in the workplace, she left the monotonous desk job and entered the music industry in 2003. She was praised by USA Today and other publications. However, some people are fated for terrible pitfalls. She found herself in a long-term struggle with severe delayed-onset PTSD after a difficult multi-year journey. She returned to work as a mother at 29 years old, and then took a leave of absence from office work to receive a Masters scholarship from Manhattan School of Music. Next, divorce was a factor. Daneman became a single mother and continued to study. She was impressive enough to graduate in 2010 to be invited by the Banff Centre for Jazz.
