There’s something very different about this artist, an essence that’s more complicated as you look deeper. Behind those innocent eyes is cool steel pulled from the fire—determined, focused and wise beyond her years—a blade sheathed in silk. Her talent hits you in the face, taunt’s you, pulls you out of your seat and pushes you back down… and all the while, she’s still the cool chick that everybody wants to be and be with. The beginning. 

As a little girl, this R&B powerhouse never knew she would be a singer let alone wanted to be a singer. The things she was subjected to as a child lead her to writing and from that writing lead her to music. 

Today, she is stepping forward as a unique talent and creative force all of her own creation—and very much to be reckoned with. The quiet town of Pasadena, Texas, which lies on the fringes of Houston, was quiet no more when AshLeighn, at the age of 17, discovered her powerful singing voice. I grew up listening to Brandy and Toni Braxton. “Un-break my Heart” was a huge hit I would sing that song every day and that is when I realized I could be a singer, too, just like the other artists I admired, if I worked hard enough. It happened so fast. One moment, she was a 17-year-old writing in her sisters living room, when famed record producer Bryan-Michael Cox just happened to stop by. He was instantly moved by what he read.

 “He asked me, ‘Sing?’ and I said, ‘sure.’ The next thing I knew I was recording my first two singles, and signing a record contract with him. It went from a dream to reality just like that. ”Her first release was “Let Me,” followed by “Hard.” “I learned so much during those early times,” AshLeighn says. “It taught me that you have to work very hard for everything, it built who I am as an artist today.

I‘m proud to tell people I’m from Houston. It doesn’t get cooler than that! ”You’ve got to know your worth. AshLeighn’s songs are about empowering yourself and really knowing your worth - not settling for less. 

AshLeighn has built excitement and anticipation of her new release, making her fans crazy with anticipation. The album, she says, “reflects my relationships from the past 7 years—who I am as a person. It’s heartfelt and emotional. I’m so excited. I’ve been busting my butt for this moment!”
