My name is Ashley Trammell, though many know me as Shadoe.
I first gained an interest in music in elementary school when my brother started taking piano lessons. I convinced my parents to let me join choir and band where I learned to play the flute. I started learning to play bassoon in 8th grade, and continued music in high school, taking advantage of all of the music classes and activities I could. I decided music was my future, and took music classes at a local community college, and later became a music student at California State University San Bernardino. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Music Performance and Music Technology.
While I was a student at CSUSB, a friend decided to start his own independent game company called Whim Independent Studios. I started at Whim Independent Studios as an artist and eventually took over the roles of audio engineer and audio designer. Since then, I have worked on several game projects, as well as freelance and personal projects.
