I’m Ryan Ashton, a 30-year-old DJ based in North Devon. Music and performance have always been part of my life. Before DJing, I spent over 15 years as a street dancer — teaching and competing around the world. That experience gave me a deep understanding of rhythm, energy, and how to create the right vibe for any crowd.
Now I run DJ Ryan Ashton, providing professional DJ services for weddings and events across the UK. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” set — every couple has their own style, and I make sure the music reflects that. From smooth background tracks during dinner to a packed dance floor late into the night, I tailor everything to you and your guests.
Alongside DJing, I also work as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist, but music has always been the constant. Professional, approachable, and reliable, my goal is simple: to give you and your guests a night you’ll remember.
