Chloe Marie Aston, 20, traded her guitar for a piano bike thanks to her dad's ingenious idea. Now, she's touring from Ilfracombe, playing for shoppers and captivating audiences. Her journey began at 14 busking with a guitar, but the piano bike is her signature! Marie Aston, 20, from Ilfracombe, picked up the instrument for the first time five years ago and has been serenading shoppers ever since. Although she's now fully fitted out with everything she needs, Chloe's piano bike hasn't always been part of her act.
"I started busking when I was 14, and back then I played the guitar. But I wasn't very good at it, and I used to complain about it.
"My dad would sit there, watching me play, and then one day he came up with the idea of putting a piano on a bike.
"he told me his idea, and he said, ‘If I build this piano bike, will you learn to play the piano?’ and so I did.
"A lot of people think I’m selling ice cream, and then I cycle past and they see the keys and realise ‘oh it’s a piano’ 
"People often say, ‘I can’t believe it, that’s so weird’ 
Chloe said: "It’s such a nice job to have, to go out and play music and make people happy.
"But it’s weird to be kind of a known figure in the South West now." East Street, Newquay, Cornwall, UK
