It\u2019s almost as rewarding as winning the lottery itself.<\/p>\n
Before it was a radio hit, the sprightly, playful Ash Koley number \u201cDon\u2019t Let Your Feet Touch Ground\u201d served as a very memorable TV ad jingle for Lotto 649.<\/span><\/p>\n Lightning actually struck a second time for the duo \u2013 singer and songwriter Ash Koley (same name as the band) and musical partner Phil Deschambault \u2013 in the U.K., where the song served a similar purpose for a lottery there.<\/p>\n With \u201cSheep In Wolves\u2019 Clothing\u201d placed in an episode of the hit TV series Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> (ABC); a Nettwerk record deal; and an impressive first album, Inventions, you may appreciate why the duo’s tootsies are hovering over cloud nine. \u201cWe\u2019ve been lucky,\u201d says Deschambault, who met Koley through friends. \u201cWe\u2019ve got upwards of 20 synchs [synchronization licences] \u2013 money that we can live on for awhile.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n The other surefire road to success? Talk to \u2013 and see each other \u2013 as little as possible. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to talk,\u201d chuckles Koley, who lives in Toronto. \u201cWe know each other well enough. We don\u2019t really have to say whether we like something or hate something, because we already know.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n For Winnipeg resident and ex-Not Going To Vegas member Deschambault, it\u2019s the kind of chemistry that eases the writing process.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a songwriter, you always hope you\u2019re going to meet someone who’s like-minded,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe\u2019re best friends, and we\u2019re pretty ridiculous and silly people. So we want to write good songs that are honest and real and make sure that our personalities are put forward.\u201d<\/p>\n It was the collective Ash Koley\u2019s quirky personality that got the attention of Nettwerk via impromptu videos they made for YouTube. \u201cThat\u2019s when [Nettwerk CEO] Terry McBride started Facebooking us,\u201d says Koley.<\/p>\n Deschambault, a multi-instrumentalist who composes with ProTools software, started the majority of Inventions\u2019 nine songs. \u201cI pretty much write the song and produce it, and Ash comes in and replaces my vocal,\u201d he explains. \u00ab\u00a0But that\u2019s when it becomes a co-write, because as soon as her voice gets on it, we start tweaking things, and the song takes on a new identity.\u201d<\/p>\n With a recently released acoustic version of Inventions and four tracks added for the U.S. and U.K. releases of the album, Deschambault has EMI Music Publishing Canada working songs, while Koley is repped by Nettwerk One Music.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s beneficial to have two separate companies working to pitch your songs,\u201d says Koley.<\/p>\n Track Record<\/strong> Finding success together by staying apart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":111097,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-non-categorise"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
