Ashley Smith(XVII)
- Actress
- Production Department
Ashley Smith is a multidisciplinary storyteller-model, musician, actress-originally hailing from small-town East Texas. After over a decade gracing runways and magazine covers for some of the world's top fashion houses, Ashley has shifted her focus from being a fashion girl to forging her own artistic voice for stage and screen.
For the past three years, she has immersed herself in the world of acting in Los Angeles. A lifelong fan of genre films, she suddenly found herself at the center of that world-starring in Neo-noir horror films like A Desert, which premiered in the UK at FrightFest 2024. Fueled by a familiar creative hunger, she also turned back to her first love: music. Raw, loud, fast, and unapologetic. She formed the band TRASHWORLD with her best friend Dani Miller-a gritty sonic experiment born in the chaos of Los Angeles.
But then came an unexpected plot twist: love. Ashley followed her heart across the Atlantic, and as of early 2025, London is home. With her eyes on the UK's stages and silver screens, she's ready to leave her mark. "There's a lot of work left to do," she says, "but I'm ready to see what I can shake up here."
