On today's episode, I had the chance to talk to Ashley Michelle Koley and Phil Deschambault, both Winnipeg artists who went on to become "Ash Koley" in 2005.

In this interview, I learned how Ashley and Phil met in a unsuspecting location, and how such a random meeting progressed into something creatively inspirational.

As you will hear in the interview (available in iTunes now), one night of singing karaoke could get you a permanent gig in the music industry...because you never know who's listening.

During this interview, Ashley and Phil were kind enough to play an acoustic version of "Don't Let Your Feet Touch Ground" which was #5 on the Canadian charts at the time of our interview.

The duo was also set to release their new album Inventions on October 5th, 2010 with the help of their label, Sony Music Canada.

The time we spent together was great, and a reminder of what talent is grown here in our own back yard. It taught me that with persistence, determination and the right helping hands; you really can do anything you put your mind to.
