Ashley Monroe no longer with Sony

[north_clt]

A lot of you know Ashley Monroe from her videos "I Don't Want To" and "Satisfied." She's also worked as a song writer with both Kellie and Carrie Underwood.

She posted this on her Myspace last week:

So sorry to have kept you waiting ... alot has been changing in my world!!

But it's all for the best. I am no longer on Sony. They were kind enough to let me out of my deal and I am very thankful to them for all of their hard work... but I HAVE TO GET MUSIC OUT TO YOU GUYS HUH??!?! I couldn't wait any longer!! Even though my first original album won't be released ( I know ... I'm bummed too.. I put my heart into it).. I am writing like a crazy person.. songs that wake me up in my sleep.. songs that for the first time since I wrote my record .. are making me cry and touching my soul the way music should!! Although I don't currently have a label.. my whole team and I are trying to figure out a way to get at least some music on my site that's new and you can buy!!!

Some more great news!! I just got a DOUBLE PLATINUM record for writing "Flat on the Floor" (with Brett James) on Carrie Underwood's new album "Carnival Ride"... I am so thankful to have gotten on that album.. she is really great.

I appreciate all of the encouragement and sweet comments from you guys.. I read them every day.. Don't give up on me.. haha.. I'm FAR FROM OVER.. I'm just getting started.. I am soooo excited about this upcoming year..So many wonderful things are in the works and I can't wait to tell you all about them as they happen!!

For now know I am HAPPY, I am optimistic and thankful for all the oportunities that have been given to me so far.. and I can't wait to get back to my roots and make the music that was put in my heart to make.

Love you guys... STAY TUNED

Ashley's fantastic!
Since the first time I heard her she was awesome!

Kellie had some good stuff to say about her at the concert I went to, too!

Her songs for Carrie and Kellie are great!

I was sad when I heard Ashley left Sony but I'm glad she's still going to be writing and recording, too!

I love her music and i'm sad to hear that she's leaving sony...

she'll find something better, Sony's not in very good shape right now

Wow I had no idea she wrote "Flat on the floor", that's 1 of my absolute favorite songs off of "Carnival Ride"! Anyways, she is a great singer and songwriter, hopefully she can get a new, better record deal soon.
