She wants her music to tell a story, to touch and inspire people.
Ashleigh was born in Ogden, UT, but moved to Washington when she was eight. Growing up she sang in all of the school and church choirs. In addition, each year Ashleigh would sing in local talent shows and county fairs. “I have always loved country music and have always wanted to be a country singer; so I decided to make an inspirational, upbeat, and fun country album. Of course, it will also have some great heartbreaking break-up songs on it too; but I want the overall message of the album to be positive.”
