You Ain’t Neva Seen These! [Performance Photos]

Hey World! I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter weekend! 🙂 I thought I would share some fun never seen before photos with you all. Take a look BELOW and hope to see ya’ll at the next SHOW! Lol

#WSAATL Unplugged ‘Thank You Party’ @ Apache Café (Oct 2014) We ended the year with a bang! After the retreat we had our last Writing Sessions of the year. That was my first time ever performing at Apache! 🙂 Glo also took the stage and had the crowd rockin! *A successful night with friends & great music.*

Dance Workshop with Dance Styles, Inc. (Nov 2014) I had the opportunity to host an NBA dance team style workshop through Dance Styles, Inc. I taught sassy piece to Jessie J’s ‘Bang Bang!’

Afton Show @ Kryptonite (Jan 2015) First show of the New Year! Woo hoo! New location, new faces, & a new mix!

The Xperience Music Series @ Enclave (Jan 2015) The very next night I performed at Enclave for the first time. I did ‘Find Me’ and most definitely left everything on that stage lol #OneWomanShow

Music & Soul 5 @ Apache Café (Feb 2015) This was one of my favorite shows because I felt like I really took risks. I’m going to keep challenging myself to do be in the moment when I’m on that stage & not be afraid to let go! Try something new! No playing it safe.

Ladies Werking @ Suede Lounge (February) Lol. Now this was a lonng, fun night. We had two performances back to back at different locations. Mychala was under the weather and STILL performed like nobody’s business! We ended the night at Gladys Night’s Signature Chicken & Waffles and I ordered the ‘Midnight Train’ for the first time. lol (Hungry just thinking about it…omg let me finish this post.. *mouth watering*)

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!

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.

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?) >>

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?

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

learning 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. 10^th 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

Birthday Thoughts… (Thank You)

2013, 27, AshleYYY, AshleYYY Music, Birthday Thoughts, Erin, Happy Birthday, hhucit, HHUCIT Music Group, Makai, Thank You

*Looking back over “old” pics, listening to “old” & new music – great music* …Been reflecting for the past few days. Laid down last night with so much on my mind. Not feeling like I’m worthy of some things. Listening to others’ stories, how hard others may have it, what they’ve been through, etc. …and it makes me want to step it up that much more. Makes me appreciate what I have & not stress over lil things. (It’s nice to be reminded of that.) Thank You to all those who have been a friend to me, whether you gave me some encouragement, tagged me in an inspiring video, or just had a brief conversation with me. You never know how you can affect other people & uplift them. *The little things*

I know that I hold a lot in – as far as the “not so good stuff” on the internet. I never want to come off as this person who complains, wants others to feel sorry, and in turn put that negative energy on others. So I’d rather use social media to throw out positivity to connect with people. On the other hand, there’s got to be an appropriate way to share my trials with you all in a constructive way too. I am working on it 🙂

I’m sorry if this blog is all out of order. Lol. I’m just thinking out loud. Today is my 27^th birthday. It’s funny cuz I say “I’m getting old!” lol but I have so much more life to live… So many more things I want to do… So many more people I want to reach. “27” sounds “old” in my head lol but the reality is I have so much more growing to do! It’s not until you’re out on your own, or still having to depend on people when you start to realize, “I’m not done yet.” (And even then, I believe you will always need others. Any age. There’s ALWAYS room for growth.) So I’m thankful for my support system: Your love, generosity & efforts are not taken for granted. This hard work will NOT be in vain. God has truly blessed me with good people surrounding me. Good people with big hearts. I can only hope to return the love & make you proud every chance I get…

I have yet to experience “hate” from people – I get so much positivity from others. That’s rare for some people. So I thank ya’ll. Thank you for the birthday wishes. The prayers. The motivation. Your thoughts. I would not be where I am without the support and love from others.

I don’t know if I have a closing statement or a point I’m trying to make with this, but I felt the need to share my thoughts today… I pray my sister, Erin & nephew, Makai have a beautiful day. A Very Happy Birthday to you both…

Makai, I know you’re getting big and I wish I could see you and your brother & sister more. I miss all of my nieces and nephews so much. Ya’ll are our future 🙂 Know your auntie is always thinking of you guys…Love you!

Sister, you mean the world to me. I wish I was with you to celebrate another year. (This is our 2^nd bday apart! But that’s okay. 🙂 We’re growing up & are going down our own paths. That’s life 🙂 Keep making me proud and always being a great example for me & others. I’ve said it before and will continue to say it: You are an Amazing Woman. YOU inspire me. I learn from YOU. You have a beautiful spirit… I miss you. Have fun today. Wish I could see your face… xoxo

…So, I woke up feeling good – better than when I laid down last night. Thank you Lord for allowing me to see another day. Another day to renew my mind. Reflect. Learn. Change. Grow. Touch. Help someone else. Help myself. Thank all those who have been so kind enough to call me, send a bday wish, or get me a gift. 🙂 I’m so grateful… Trying to embrace 27. Embrace life. Remembering that: It’s okay to not be where I want yet, but to keep working towards it. And most importantly, APPLYING what I’ve learned. Doing good because I’m supposed to. Anything else is a sin, right?

I’m content.

Smiling, always. Tears of joy 🙂
