Ashley describes Headstrong as a chance for her fans to get to know her better.
“People know my characters, but they don’t know me,” says Ashley.
“I’ve never really spilled all the details about my life in interviews before.
“But on this album I’m talking about what’s happened in my life and what is personal to me.
“I want people to know that I’m a real person, and that I’ve been through normal situations, like crushes and heartbreaks.
“I think hearing my stories will help the audience relate better to me.”
PERSONAL SONGS:
Ashley co-wrote three tracks on her new album: Over It, Suddenly, and Not Like That.
She was determined to record songs that touched her personally and that contained lyrics she could identify with.
“I connected to every single song,” she says. “Every single one has a story behind it.”
“The album is called Headstrong because I’m a pretty headstrong type of person,” Ashley admits.
“I know how I want to look, what songs I want to sing, and how I want to come across. So I’m definitely headstrong in that way.”

CAREER SUCCESS:
Ashley has been a working singer, dancer, and actress for the past 17 years.
She is from New Jersey, USA, and first caught the performance bug at the age of eight when she was featured in a leading role in the national tour of the Broadway musical Les Misérables, followed by an international tour with the cast of Annie.
Her early experience singing onstage led to her passion for music.
At 19, Tisdale was cast as Sharpay in the Emmy-winning High School Musical.
A pop-culture phenomenon, the film premiered in January 2006 and was the highest-rated telecast in Disney Channel history.
DOUBLE HIT:
|
Ashley scored a coup when she became the first female artist ever to debut with two songs — both from the movie’s soundtrack — simultaneously on America’s Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
“That is just crazy,” she says. “When I think about artists like Madonna and Beyoncé…it’s surreal. I seriously can’t comprehend it.”
