Ashley Aucoin was born and raised in Chéticamp, an Acadian village in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Hailing from the coastal village of Chéticamp, Nova Scotia, Ashley AuCoin is a rising voice in the East Coast music scene. With a sound rooted in folk, bluegrass, acoustic, country, and traditional Acadian music, Ashley’s voice is both powerful and gentle — resonating with warmth and emotional depth.
