As an emcee, she combines her love for Soul music and her long-developed writing skills to create hard-hitting and emotional songs. She performs regularly in the Boston area and New England and is a member of the Wreck Shop Movement, a collective of artists of spoken word, visual arts, music and more, bringing social awareness and activism to communities through their art.

Aisling Peartree (pronounced Ashleen) is a "Soul R&B Freedom" singer/songwriter. She began her lifelong love affair with music singing in the gospel musical Black Nativity as a young child. She went on to study classical piano, theory and later voice, while also self-studying all her favorite Soul, Blues, R&B and folk vocalists and songwriters. She began songwriting with the piano at age 14 and has been writing ever since. She left behind a lucrative career singing for restaurants, private events and weddings to focus on her original music- from ballads to social justice anthems- as well as her activist outreach work with The Freedom Movement- including mentoring, song healing and community building. aislingpeartree.com
