From WWR

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, a large city bordering Western Canada, 'Ashley Robertson’s interest in country music was sparked early by listening to great artists such as Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. She was also inspired by Shania Twain and Brad Paisley, prompting her to enroll in Belmont University’s famed Music Business program where she majored in business administration, audio production and studied classical piano.
Belmont also gave Ashley the opportunity to experience the country music industry as well as the songwriting community in Nashville. She has spent time at Warner/Chappell Music, BMG Music Publishing, Condon Music Group, Darrell Scott, and Full Light Records, as well as participated in the BMI Catalog Cast program. Ashley’s debut album was recorded at Hilltop Studios and released in 2004 to critical and international success.
Back in Winnipeg, she became a member of the MCMA, competed in songwriters’ competitions, performed at songwriters’ nights and in Nashville has performed at The Boardwalk Cafe, The Broken Spoke, The Gibson Bluegrass Showcase & The Bluebird Café. She has also seen her songs gain radio airplay in Canada, the U.S. and overseas, leading to many successful promotional tours and performances.
Her first widely released single “Living In Misery” gained the top spot on the European country charts and led to her winning the 2005 ECMA Favorite Female Vocalist of the Year award. The accompanying music video received play on CMT Canada and the Country Music Channel of Australia. She again topped the ECMA charts in 2006 with her last single “A Letter” and began earnest work writing and recording her sophomore album.
Always, though, the heart of her music lies with the rich storytelling genre of country music combined with the pulsating rhythms of bluegrass. Her gently powerful soprano voice eases you along and portrays a soulfulness beyond her years. Ashley’s favorite instruments to play are the piano, guitar and dobro but she also has picked up the banjo. Ashley is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. She graduated from Belmont University in December 2006 and is currently readying her second album for release in 2008.
