Ashton Nyte has just released a haunting rendition of David Bowie's "Heroes". The single is released ahead of his upcoming book and album, "Waiting For A Voice" which will be available on 20 July 2020. Ashton says that recording Bowie's iconic song was not something he did lightly. "The original recording is absolutely perfect as is. I am certainly not able to improve on such a masterwork, nor was that my intention. My version is simply an intimate ode to a song and an artist who helped shape my life as I prefer to know it. It is a song of hope, lyrically as vital today as ever," says Ashton.

Now based in the USA, Ashton Nyte is a South African born composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He has released 6 solo albums, in addition to 9 albums as The Awakening, one of South Africa's most prominent alternative rock bands. He has also contributed lyrics and vocals to a number of projects, most recently Beauty In Chaos, which features members of The Cure and Cheap Trick among others. Nyte's works have been featured on NPR/PRI in the USA, and he has performed live in-studio to 125 million listeners on the international radio show Border Crossings. Ashton has written and performed in theatrical productions and organized philanthropic events including his Rock Against Rape concert series, and presenting a lecture series at US universities focusing on tolerance and acceptance. Ashton recently completed a 36 date European Tour with British indie artist Wayne Hussey in October 2019 and is currently completing work on his debut book of poetry and short stories, to accompany his new album release.
