About the artist
Beauty In the Breakdown formed in 2015 creating their own take on percussion-driven electro pop. They are a new frequency on the music soundscape, fronted by world renowned percussionist Chastity Ashley, electro/rock guitarist Ian Alexander, award winning keyboardist Tim "Sonix" Rouse, renowned bass sensation Alexandria Reyes and soul drummer Demetrius "Swaggy D" Williams.
The members of the electro pop outfit have had much success in their individual careers which brought their influences together ranging from Sade to Kaskade. This makes the collaboration and formation of the band and their sound set to spark a fuse in music that offers something dynamic and electric.
Chastity Ashley hits like a girl, and the world is much better for it. The renowned percussionist (Duran Duran, Tom Morello, Cypress Hill) takes her talents centre stage in her formidable electro-pop outfit Beauty In The Breakdown and the results are electrifying.
Half a decade working with a ‘who’s who’ of rock & pop’s most successful musicians has enabled Chastity to absorb a unique range of influences that create an arresting brand of intelligent pop music. Debut EP “NEON” (2015) landed #40 on the Pop charts the week of its debut on iTunes and received rave reviews from Music Connection, who hailed Chastity's “Weapons-Grade" percussion effects, and earned them “Best Dance Song” in the prestigious Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
This east-LA girl of Mexican/Apache descent radiates warmth and positivity in person, so it’s no surprise that her music is bound together within an ethos of letting go of your inhibitions and connecting with those that bring out the best in you. Beauty In The Breakdown have a contagious enthusiasm and consider it their mission to spread this message with the masses. 2017 could certainly do with some positive authenticity and Beauty in The Breakdown are here to deliver.
The band has been off and running ever since their first debut show at The Sundance Film Festival playing alongside Skrillex and Iggy Azalea being deemed the Electro Pop Trendsetters. Further, they rocked the mainstage at the LA Pride Festival alonside Ke$ha and Tinashe for an audience of over 20,000. They've sold out LA venues like the Teragram Ballroom and have graced the stages of everywhere from Alaska to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Their newest summer single "Firebird" has been climbing the Spotify Charts landing on over a dozen playlists and has received rave reviews from publications across the US and abroad referring to Chastity as the "Sheila of EDM Music".
"I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Chastity, [her] boundless energy added an exciting and vibrant element to our shows and her expert percussion playing helped keep our audiences on their feet night after night. It's so great to see her coming into her own as an artist and sharing her music with the world. We're looking forward to hearing what she has in store!" -- John Taylor, DURAN DURAN

Lyrics
Verse I:
If I had one wish, I never would of let you go
And if I had my way you would of been the first to know
So if you let me take you by the hand
It won’t take no time to understand
That there’s a higher place that I’ll never let you fall below
Chorus:
All this time, my heart is beating fast
Just don’t know if it’s not gonna last
We’re all just throwing stones at the glass
And if we crash, we Rise like a firebird, Rise like a Firebird
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise like a Firebird
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise like a Firebird
Verse II:
If I had one wish I don’t think I would change a thing
No, I wouldn’t question who I was meant to be
There are constellations in your eyes
I can see it all, it’s no surprise
That there’s a higher place, where everything is harmony.
Chorus:
All this time, my heart is beating fast
Just don’t know if it’s not gonna last
We’re all just throwing stones at the glass
And if we crash, we Rise like a firebird, Rise like a Firebird
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise like a Firebird
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise like a Firebird
Bridge breakdown:
If I had one wish, I never would of let you go
And if I had my way you would of been the first to know
So if you let me take you by the hand
It won’t take no time to understand
That there’s a higher place that I’ll never let you fall below
Chorus Outro:
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise like a Firebird
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise like a Firebird
