When it comes to music, there is always a passion, a story, or maybe a life to tell about through someone who has talent. Everyone starts somewhere and no matter what even if that person doesn’t get a shot right or away or even one at all, they will always obtain that talent and it will never disappear. These are the ones who should be heard and need to be heard. Music in the present today, known as the mainstream, has been deceased in a mental way. There are no meanings or feeling and someone always wants to be on top so you can bet that a “fight” will happen for the crown. Songwriter and singer Ashley, better known by here “stage name” Sakura Paine, has plenty of stories to tell through her arts of music. Over 100 songs since the age of 11 has been written and every song better than each other all the time. Her bloodline has always inherited the singing or songwriting spirit and she has always wanted to take that talent a step further and bring the mainstream something new and fantastic. Her name is depicted through her personality and hobbies, which consist of studying Web Design, watching and drawing anime (Japanese animation), writing, singing, and learning Japanese, and also dancing. Sakura comes from a multiple of things that she has seen or heard. In Japanese mainly, it is the name of a tree, The Cherry Blossom, the most popular tree in Japan. Paine sums up the stories in her past or present and also a character named Paine in the Final Fantasy series of video games (another one of her hobbies) who resembles her personality in A LOT of ways. Her image is portrayed through an anime character named Yoruichi from a series called “Bleach” because her actions and awareness (and appearance) come from this character too. Her image is very well thought of and carefully copyrighted to her own heart. Wanting to pursue her dreams and hopes in this world of chaos and mix of happiness, she continues to form and shape her career whether she is noticed or not. “Paine is temporary, Sakura is forever. That’s why Sakura comes before Paine… Remember the name..”
