Ashleigh also highlights the use of TikTok and Instagram to promote her street music sessions and her relationship with other buskers, especially the ones she met when studying at the Australian College of the Arts (Collarts). Interview recorded on April 22, 2022 (Birrarung Marr, between Melbourne CBD and the Yarra River) by Daniel Bacchieri. Music excerpts from the song "Waiting Among Stars", written by Ashleigh Rose. https://linktr.ee/ashleighrosemusic
