Born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia as the daughter of a hairdresser and a landscaper, she was named after Aslan, the lion in C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. She began her singing career in 1999, when she was asked to sing at a rally of protesting miners in her hometown. Soon after this performance she began working on a Christmas album The Littlest Angel which was released in 2001. In 2002, she was spotted by Sony Classical president Peter Gelb at the East Coast Music Awards. Her debut album Sweet is the Melody appeared that same year. After performing around the world and promoting her debut album Aselin has returned with her sophomore album Bigger than Me. Although her style has changed from celtic pop to a more pop rock sound she continues to remain a popular singer.

Aselin sang with country music guru Bruce Guthro on a CBC special entitled "Aselin Debison: Sweet is the Melody" sometime in the last few years. She performed selections from her debut CD and also classic Cape Breton songs such as the Island's anthem. Also, during her tour to promote "Sweet Is The Melody," she performed in New York and Tokyo, Japan. I watched this special and got some info from www.cbc.ca, specifically http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/index.jsp?program=Aselin+Debison%3A+Sweet+is+the+Melody . Also, I checked www.aselin.com in the "Bio" section.
