"I have been blessed to be Erica’s vocal coach for several years, and I knew the first time I heard her sing that I was listening to a true talent!! It was a joy to direct her in Studio Performance Academy’s musical productions. Erica is not only a wonderful vocalist, but an incredible performer! Her future is unlimited!" - Ellen Papa, Studio Performance Academy
"Erica Ashley is a talented young singer from Henrico County. At just 14 years old, the video for her first single, ‘Where Are We Now’ will be released Friday September 6th. Today, she performed the single, ‘Where Are We Now’ and ‘For Never and Ever’." - WTVR, CBS Television (Aug 29, 2013)
"Erica Ashley just completed a performance on CBS in Virginia and is releasing the official video for this track on September 6th. With the help of a very talented team of managers, she has accomplished a tremendous amount in such a short time. With comparisons vocally to Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry, those are some powerful vocals to keep up with. When you realize that she is just fourteen, it makes it that much more amazing." - Victor Alfieri, Wordkrapht Magazine (Aug 30, 2013)

Bio
Erica Ashley has dedicated her life to music and at only 15 that might sound a bit unremarkable. What is remarkable is that in only a handful of years she has developed a voice that people are already comparing to Demi Lovato and other contemporary artists twice her age. Katie O’Halloran of EMI Publishing said, “We could have sworn that we were listening to an unreleased Katy Perry song.”
Her music and the strength of her talent have landed her performances on CBS Television, an invitation for front-of-line tryouts on America’s Got Talent, and direct support for amazing national acts including Aaron Carter, Travis Garland, and Lady Gaga’s own Colby O’Donis of “Just Dance”.
Erica’s first single and video “Where Are We Now?” led to a swarm of press and a #1 rank on Reverb Nation’s Pop Chart. Wordkrapht Magazine said, “Comparisons to Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry come to mind and those are powerful vocalists to keep up with. When you consider her age, it makes her that much more amazing.”
Her latest release, “Supernova”, displays the epic range and maturity of this rising star. It also shows a sonic evolution and a shift toward a more substantive, organic sound. With a new EP and national shows in the fall, 2014 promises to be an explosive year for Erica Ashley.
