Ashley Monroe Bio
A little more than a year ago, Ashley Monroe took stock of herself. Opportunities had come and gone, and it was time to do some soul searching and focus on her songwriting. This inward look yielded an outpouring of new songs and a renewed determination to take her artistry to the next level.
"I wanted to find out who I was as a writer and an artist," she says. "For four or five months, I really dug into my writing, into my soul, to see what I could do. That's when this record came out of me."
"This record" is Satisfied, a CD that plumbs the depths of love and loss, passion and regret with a resonance rare for any artist, much less a woman of 19. Ashley found out just how valuable that period had been when her friend and frequent co-writer Brett James took her to meet with a handful of executives at Sony BMG’s Nashville office. Two songs into her performance, the room was sold on her songs and her talent. Soon thereafter, she had her deal.
