MySpace a place for friends

Hi everyone!! My name is Danielle Ashley and I'm really glad you've come to visit my page. Take some time to check out my music. Drop me a note and let me know what you think.

Music is the most important thing in my life. I've been Singing ever since I can remember but I've recently discovered a new love as well; Dancing. I've been performing on stage since I was 9 years old. I was fortunate enough to be the youngest cast member of both Daytona's "Downtown Opry" and Central Florida's "Jukebox Showcase DeLand Ole Opry". That's where I really learned a lot about performing. Two of my most memorable performances were on "The Showtime at the Apollo" stage. The first was on "The Showtime at the Apollo Tour", at the age of 9. The second was on the nationally televised "Showtime at the Apollo" on NBC, when I was 10 (with M.C. Mo'Nique). However, nothing is as fulfilling as performing your own material.

At nine years old I was interviewed, sang and had two of my original songs aired on several radio stations. The three radio stations were; WVYB 103.3 FM (Daytona, Fl.), Magic 107.7 FM (Orlando, Fl.) and Radio Disney 990 (Orlando, Fl.). I sang the National Anthem on Magic 107.7 FM and "God Bless America" on WVYB 103.3 FM for their September 11th Tribute Shows. As a matter of fact, my original song "In Our Hearts They'll Stay" was the most requested song on WVYB 103.3 "The Vibe". Winning a Radio Disney contest is what granted me access to the Radio Disney airways during several Memorial Weekend Broadcasts. Both "In Our Hearts They'll Stay" and "Please Don't Cry" were played.

I remained rather busy through ages 10 and 11 performing at various events. Just to highlight a few, I performed the National Anthem for several baseball games (N.Y. Mets spring training game at Port St. Lucie, Fl. and The Triple A Minor League Daytona Cubs). I also sang the anthem for the WKA Races at Daytona International Speedway. Not only did I sing the National Anthem for the 2004 Citrus Bowl Parade but, I rode in a 1931 Model A Ford in the parade. I also performed the anthem and my original songs at countless charity events and civil ceremonies.

One of the highlights of my "career" was opening up for "Blackground/Universal Music" recording artist JoJo (Joanna Levesque) during her Cingular Wireless Tour. She inspired me to continue pursuing my dreams no matter what age you are.

This is exactly what I've been doing, following my dreams. For the past two years I've been writing and recording my newest original songs and performing them at various events. Please go to my blogs to check for an upcoming performance near you! Hope to see you there!
