King Ashley is a self-made rapper, a learning producer and engineer. From Fayetteville, North Carolina, she went to get educated in Raleigh, NC at North Carolina State University for Integrative Physiological Neurobiology. It was at NC State that she exposed her real self. It all began at the Free Expression Tunnel where she became known for her flow, educated bars, wit and fear of no one. She was and still is often mistaken as a male in which she thrives on. She graduated from NC State May 10, 2014 after only 3.5 years in school and decided to fully pursue her music career. 

She started by moving to the Queen City directly after graduating college. In June of 2014, she decided to release her first mixtape titled "I Give You The O.K.A.Y." on her birthday, OCT 22.  This gave her only 4 months to write 11 new tracks, promote and release it. With no team, she did just that; she gave you The Original King AshleY. In less than a year, her track "The Testimony" from the mixtape "I Give You The O.K.A.Y." got her a distribution deal with Universal Music Digital Group 6.2, ENTERTAINMENT S.A.M.E. BOOKING AGENCY LLC. 

Her best track to date is "Where Ya Been" to Drake's "Back To Back" with over 7K hits! Excitedly, she received an email from Universal Music Group stating that she had to take the song down due to copyrights and lack of royalties being issued to the music company. 

King Ashley used to be a high school science teacher to give back to the same community that gave her her platform. She is now a U.S. Army solider.

"I, King Ashley am a full believer in the manifestation of all dreams. Whatever your wildest dream is, it is your planetary, spiritual and evolutionary duty to not only follow it, but to chase it, do it, achieve it and make people believe in it. That's how we get inspired to do better as humans, as people. Inspiration comes from others while motivation comes from within. Once I realized that, it turned me into a savage. I am relentless with my dream. God gave it to me and I am made in His/Her image. So why not give it to yourself? You are a King."
