Play Thing

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Just back from Montauk Music Fest in Long Island, New York, and the Port Charlotte Florida Music Fest, Ashleigh is enjoying all of the opportunities coming her way! She was nominated for Chicago's Independent Artist of the Year 2014! She has had the chance to work in LA, NY, Nashville, Florida and has played various festivals and venues in her home town of Chicago. Ashleigh has been singing in bars and at open mics with her guitar since the age of 9, and has gradually had more and bigger opportunities come her way. Today, she is 18 and is loves to share her original music and to connect with people. She shares the stage with her older sister on keyboards and her younger sister on guitar. The girls share a natural sibling harmony and love of music. Her message is one of self empowerment, a theme in all of her original songs. She hopes to inspire people to stand tall and believe in their dreams! Ashleigh's first big break came in the summer of 2009, when she travelled to New York to record three original songs, produced by Grammy Award winning producer Barry Goldstein. Following that, she went on to Castle Nine Studios in Rochester, New York to record her song 'Break In Two', co-written and produced by Richard Fink IV and Johnny Cummings. At a casting session late last year in Chicago, she was introduced to MashPlant.com founder and Executive Producer Jason Brett, who invited Ashleigh to become MashPlant.com's first Rising Star. Ashleigh balances schoolwork with a rigorous performing schedule at musical venues throughout the Midwest. She's received numerous regional talent awards, has performed at the Nashville Palace and has appeared as a host on the television show, Nashville Spotlight. In 2011, Ashleigh danced and sang in a national TMOBILE Commercial, directed by Alfonso Gomez-Reyon, director of GLEE called HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. She also was on the Chicago Acoustic Underground's Radio show in 2011. Additionally, she is a mentor with the renowned Piven Theater Workshop children's program, where she has studied acting since the age of nine. In 2011, Ashleigh was a featured player in the PBS program 'Fear No Art Chicago' with Piven Theatre. She also attends Second City's Training Center. Ashleigh is also a motivational speaker for teens. She has given her own presentations at University of Wisconsin and at various high schools to encourage teens to follow their dreams and to share with them tools to overcome the effects of bullying. With six siblings pursuing their own interests in the creative arts, Ashleigh hopes to inspire other young artists to FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS! Addendum: In March 2012, Ashleigh won first place in the F.A.M.E. event held at Billy Dec's Rockit Bar and Grill, which awarded her some recording money to work at Gravity Studios in Chicago. This event was held to help aspiring artists without the means to further their careers, an opportunity in their chosen field. She was blessed with the opportunity to work with Jameel Harris. Unfortunately, Jameel was killed on April 22nd when he was hit by a drunk driver on his way home from the studio. He leaves behind a wife and 3 young children. Ashleigh is committed to finishing the work that she and Jameel worked so closely on. In January, 2013, a second producer, Matt Ryd of Chicago, working with Ashleigh on additional songs for this EP, lost his battle with an eating disorder and depression. All songs on this EP were original works of Ashleigh, produced by The Ontic's Rye Randa and Jeff Foxworth of Studio City, California. This album was funded by a successful Kickstart campaign. Ashleigh would like to thank each and every one of her backers that contributed to the production of this EP, especially Gary Mankus, Kenneth Shaddle, and Andy Kubica. With a very grateful heart, this EP was able to be made from the kindness of friends, family, and strangers who came together to help make it into a reality!
