Ashlie

My name is Ashlie and I have been singing since I had a voice to do it with.. I started as a child with plays and being in chorus, or anything that involved singing or acting. Then as I got older I started writing poetry, which then lead to songs, and here I am Today!!

I'm now living and working on my music in Miami FL.. I'm working on a personal full album with Karl Heilbron at OceanVU Studio and so far its been going GREAT!! I write, sing, sometimes engineer, and I'm now learning to Produce beats for myself and others as well!! I want to learn everything I can, but at the same time, even then, I know I won't know it all, and thats what I LOVE about Music! Theres ALWAYS something new or different to learn, and that makes my career a constant challenge!

We (Me and Karl) have also just finished a benefit album for the KATRINA/WILMA victims. It includes 11 different Artists that are locally famous to Florida and some even farther across the US. Artists include Myself (ASHLIE DEAN), TEN 13 CONCEPT, SHORTSTACK, DIETS ARE FOR MODELS, I DIGRESS, and more.. All of the proceeds are being donated to THE RED CROSS for further help to the victims.. It will be released sometime in late December, and I will be selling them on here and at CDBABY.COM for only $10.. Please contact me at ashlie_dean@yahoo.com for further information, or to purchase a CD. I personally grew up in Key West and just recently moved, but my family still lives there and I had most of my pictures, and things there... We were seriously effected by Hurricane Wilma and lost our home and all our belongings.. We are trying to rebuild much like everyone else that has been effected by Hurricane Katrina/Wilma/ all other Hurricanes this year that caused serious damage.. This CD's proceeds will truly help the Families EVERYWHERE that are still suffering without homes, belongings, and some even mourning the loss of family...

So take a look at my Music page and let me know what you think! I'm really excited to finally share my music with the world and I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing, and making it!

Traveling up and down the eastcoast performing anywhere and everywhere I can! I will go anywhere to perform!! North, South, East, and West! It doesn't matter, its MUSIC! I have performed with Aaron Carter, and numerous other artists.. I've worked with Karl Heilbron (former Producer/Engineer of Keith Sweat, Tu Pac, Lisa "Lefteye" Lopez), and many more.. I have sang and been recorded on numerous ringtones, and been featured on many Artists CD's including Blaze A Mic, Quietus, Lonewolf, etc. Also I've recently been featured on a compilation CD dropping late December early January of 2005-2006 for the Hurricane Katrina/Wilma Victims.. I'm ALWAYS open to working with new people and look forward to the future!

I sing live anywhere I can, I love it! It's a rush that nothing else in this world could give.. I love to perform alone, or even with people.. Colaborations are really fun, there are soo many talented people out there!!

I would have to say that my BIG influences would be Whittney Houston, Celine Dion, Aaliyah-RIP you are an Angel, Christina Aguilara, her voice is incredible! Jewel, Ashanti, Isley Brothers, Alicia Keyes, Marvin Gaye, and the list goes on and on...

I go to the Studio (OceanVU Studio) to record professionally, but if I'm at home I use Pro Tools!
