about

ash almeda (FKA Babylung) is a singer/songwriter & producer whose music is best understood in the context of the Pacific Northwest’s gloomy rain and occasional sunny days. Ash’s hometown of Vancouver succinctly captures his artistic identity; the hustle and bustle of a rainy city nestled in the beauty of serene mountains.

With vivid storytelling, an emotive falsetto, and a church-born-and-raised musical ear, the Filipino-Canadian captures the zeitgeist of Gen-Z’s fragmented conscience: the complexities of love and relationships, mental health, spiritual introspection, and the search for identity.

His music is deeply intertwined with his upbringing, blending the pop songwriting prowess of the Karaoke classics frequented by his Filipino household with the moody indie/alternative tracks that mirrored the rainy PNW environment around him.

When not in the studio, Ash can be found outdoors, immersed in nature—trail running, backcountry snowboarding, and surfing. The nomadic artist’s adventurous lifestyle reflects his internal state: a restless search for peace in an increasingly chaotic world.
