Hey World! I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all of the holidays this season…Wishing you all a SAFE & exciting New Year as well! But before 2015 comes, I gotta share with ya’ll some of my favorite moments, foods, & experiences of 2014! Let’s take a stroll…

DANCE WORLD >>

Ya’ll know I love me a good dance audition. I love me a challenge and this year I had my fair share of them. The most memorable audition would have to be the ‘Drumline: A New Beat’ 2-day audition. Wow. Can I just say I ain’t never danced so hard in my life?! lol but seriously, ALL of the choreo was so fun, I couldn’t help but enjoy the experience. The competition was on & every lady (and guy) in that room fought hard!

Praise God. I also had the opportunity to work at Cosmic Energy Fitness Studio as a Hip Hop instructor (my first teaching job at an ATL studio!) I also go to host an upbeat workshop with Dance Styles, Inc.! I’ve met so many gracious women through these jobs & learned new things each step of the way. Thank You. 🙂

YA’LL KNOW I EAT! >>

Soooo the first time I go to Joe’s Crab Shack I decide to order crawfish for the first time. Little did I know this stuff has the eyeballs STILL ON it! (I can’t deal.) I had to have Edward crack them open for me, then I could eat them without something looking back at me! Lol You feel me? It was good tho! IMG_7305

A FEW HIGHLIGHTS >>

Some of my new experiences included: being a part of Culture shoes & creating our very own sneaker!, working the Green Carpet with Hip-Hop-U-C-It at the BET Hip Hop Awards, being casted in Janelle Monae’s ‘Electric Lady’ music video, and being an extra in the film, Ride Along 2. IMG_7146

FRIENDS & FAMILY TIME >>

Erin actually just visited me for the second time. (Oooh, I thought I was energetic… but have you met my sister?) Lol 🙂 love you sis. It’s always a good time when I’m surrounded by loved ones. More road trips, family time, & game nights to come!

MINI SHOCKERS >>

I attended the Jay-Z & Beyoncé concert! Ow! I had never seen a Beyoncé show or Jay-Z in concert. What an experience 🙂 #OnTheRunTour     

Oh, I won a rap battle this year. That’s right, you read it right! Lol I always knew I had it in me. (Thanks to V-103!)

PROGRESS >>

I love being out & meeting new people, but I wasn’t taking full advantage of every opportunity. Took me a while, but I get it. At some point you have to break out of your shell (especially being in a new city) and DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. It’s very easy to get comfortable; but you won’t always see change that way. I now understand what it really means to build relationships with others.

I’m learning to embrace my journey as an artist. Don’t rush the dream AshleYYY! I’ve also stepped out of my comfort zone and began collabing with other songwriters. Sometimes more heads are better than one. I’m also thankful for my team & grateful to have two of the sweetest young ladies by my side, putting in werk! 😉

PERSONAL (TMI?) >>

hair out From my skin, to my hair journey, to becoming a “woman” lol! (Not that guys! Let me explain) — It’s been an eventful year. No one told me I’d be experiencing all these changes in my late 20s! WTH?! It’s funny, my sis & I were just talking about how we both still feel really young. I mean we are “young”, but we’re older in a sense because we are more aware, career focused, and making sense of life… Ya’ll know what I’m saying, right?

 

IMG_3780IMG_4833Since I moved to Atlanta two years ago, I noticed all these changes: stomach reacting to different foods (omg), random breakouts (thank you Proactiv), 

IMG_4158IMG_6915learning new ways to take care of my hair, sleeping & eating patterns, how I deal with conflict, relationships, interpreting my dreams, how to avoid stress, etc… it’s all so much! [Maybe I’ll share my thoughts in a birthday blog next month, cuz Jan. 10th is around the corner!! Ah!]

LASTLY,

I can’t say it enough…Thank You to ALL of my fans, subscribers, my supporters, those who have allowed me to perform on their stage, new friends, and everyone I have had the privilege of crossing paths with. Everything happens for a reason. Cheers to the New Year, to LIFE, to learning & then acting on it. Here’s to CHANGE, Appreciating life and those in it, facing every obstacle, Faith, and God being in control of it all… He keeps us & allows us to see a new day. Thank You.

 2014, it’s been real. 2015, what you got for me? I’m pretty much as ready as I’ll ever be. Lol

Press Release: AshleYYY Releases New Single “Why You Come For Me?”

AshleYYY - Why You Com For Me?

Nationwide – November 25, 2014 — It’s a testament to AshleYYY’s fearlessness.  This past year the triple threat singer, songwriter and dancer AshleYYY has written songs regularly, recorded multiple features, performed on many stages while not only honing her craft but continuing to build her brand. In the midst of all that, with anticipation building over the last year for new music, AshleYYY has quietly made her way into the studio to record her latest single “Why You Come For Me?” which has been made available to the world today November 25, 2014. It’s not a ballad, nor is it a dance track. It’s a good mixture of both, with vulnerable lyrical content. “Why You Come For Me?” is a story that will paint a picture for you, she describes this song as an “honest piece.”

“It’s funny; I’ve realized how much the “true story” songs end up being so much easier to write. I remember writing the majority of this piece back in 2012, and just how easy the lyrics seemed to fall on the page.”

AshleYYY has the ability to tug on people’s emotions with her strong ballads and her aim with this single is no different. Although this one isn’t a ballad, her focus is and has always been on making great music that people can relate to while continuing to grow in every aspect of being an artist.

“I want to be an artist who stands behind her music and knows what she wants, and knows exactly how she wants it to sound…without feeling some type of way about it when more work has to be done. (laughs) #TeamAshleYYY Always striving for greatness.”

With her new single “Why You Come For Me?” ready and available for the world to hear, AshleYYY looks to have her “honest” music fall on the ears, hearts and minds of all that can relate.

New Music For You 11.25.14 #WYCFM

October 28, 2014 by AshleYYY
My Blog
#WYCFM, 2014, AshleYYY, AshleYYYMusic, ATL, break ups, Dancer, freedom, Growth, hhucit, HHUCIT Music Group, Hip Hop, honest, lessons, Love, lyrics, MKE, new music, New Single, November 24th, Promo, R&B, relationships, Singer, Songwriter, support, TeamAshleYYY, Triple Threat, true story, Why You Come For Me?

 

I think the best thing about being a songwriter is that so much freedom comes with it. It’s liberating. There are no boundaries. The topics are endless and I can go in whatever direction I feel…

It’s been over a year since I put out any new music. (Thank ya’ll for your patience, and still rocking my music in the meantime 🙂 lol) In the past couple of years, I’ve written enough songs to make 5 albums; but there was no need to keep dropping a project every 6 months. My focus has been on perfecting my live show, growing as a vocalist, expanding my network, and pushing myself as a writer. I’ve learned the importance of editing, going back to re-write what I thought was final lol, adding other elements to make a song come to life, and getting honest feedback from others, all BEFORE showcasing it to the world. I’m learning everyday and thankful for my awesome team & the beautiful people God has placed around me.

It is now time to give my people new music. Great music. *Remember, I pinky swore on my last project to always strive for greatness* 🙂 This song isn’t a ballad, nor is it a dance track. But what I love about this record is that it’s a good mixture of both + vulnerable lyrical content. It’s a laid back kinda groove 🙂 …but with a story. The lyrics paint a picture for you. It’s an honest piece…  It’s funny; I’ve realized how much the “true story” songs end up being so much easier to write. I remember writing the majority of this piece back in 2012, and just how easy the lyrics seemed to fall on the page. I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to this story in some way or another…either you went through it, put somebody else through it lol, or know someone who experienced it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did creating it. 🙂

We will be releasing my new song, “Why You Come For Me?” on Tuesday, November 25th, 2014. It will be available for purchase everywhere digital music is distributed. I would love ya’ll support and as ALWAYS, your down right honest opinion of the song. Until then please repost, share, spread the word, and get a sneak peak of the visuals & lyrics below. Thanks so much! #WYCFM

Get ready!!
