Teenage Waitress

Teenage Waitress is the solo project from Southampton’s Daniel J. Ash. In Ash’s own words TW is a “collection of other people’s stories set to what I hope are some instantly hummable tunes. Because it's just me, my producer and a laptop there aren't really any rules. There's no primary genre. I'll write a song, take it to the studio and if it feels special enough, we'll get the dress up box out and work out the most interesting way that we can present it!"

The debut album Love & Chemicals was released in 2020. It was described as “nothing short of genius” by Louder Than War and “a musical highlight of 2020" by CLASH. The album featured in MOJO Magazine and Tim’s Twitter Listening Party.

Ash’s second album Your Cuckoo was released in June 2023. Ash celebrated with a tour playing record shops and venues up and down the country. Some of them still have their windows. The LP received positive reviews and was later crowned Louder Than War's 10th best album of 23.

In 2024 Ash plans to release his third album, a book on songwriting and his own pasta sauce.
