The Importance of Music in the Pandemic

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ashlee Keating over Zoom video! Ashlee Keating is ready to take the pop music scene by storm with her new single "SAUCY" and forthcoming EP. The hot new single has quickly become an anthem for both female-empowerment and the LGBTQ+ community. The track was created by the top-tier team of producers Tommy Brown (who works closely with Ariana Grande), YNG Josh and Nick Cooper. While the vibrant "Saucy" music video racked up over 100K views in the first week since its release, directed by Combina Key and choreographed by Shirlene Quigley. As a Billboard-charting music sensation, Ashlee is a true multifaceted talent. Her music is a perfect mix of upbeat and inspirational, with lyrical themes of loving yourself and living your best life. Between her colorful style and dance-worthy music catalog, Ashlee has also become highly regarded within the LGBTQ+ community as an ally and activist. She strives to spread messages of love, positivity, and confidence through all of her work. Making major strides in the music industry, Ashlee's recent single "YASSS" garnered over 1-Million streams on Spotify while her singles "Hurt Me So Good" and "Bad Mistake" spent weeks on the Top 20 Billboard Dance/Club Chart. Born and raised in Southern New Jersey, Ashlee discovered her love for music at a young age. She made her Broadway debut at only 6-years-old, playing 'Gretl' in the national tour of "The Sound of Music" (alongside Richard Chamberlain). Shortly after, she was cast as the lead role of "Annie" at the famous Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia. Ashlee has since been seen as a contestant on CBS' "Star Search", a member of Radio Disney's "Up and Coming Artist" Incubator Program (performing for artists such as Demi Lovato, Keke Palmer, & Raven Symone), in acting roles in movies such as "The Bandit Hound", and with her holiday single "Ice Kingdom" featured in Coca-Cola's '52 Songs of Happiness' campaign. Ashlee loves to use her platform for good, giving back to philanthropic organizations supporting women's empowerment and the LGBTQ+ community. Over the years, she has worked closely with GLAAD, Girl Up, St. Jude Children's Hospital, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Outside of her music career, Ashlee likes to stay active with her passions for fashion, dancing, pilates, make-up, traveling, and fitness. She also loves spending time with her pomeranian puppy Koko.
