Ashland comes from a small town where there aren't a lot of musical opportunities. Her father has been a mechanic his whole life and has always believed in Ashland's dream of being a musician. He even built her a music studio in the back of his garage in order to help her reach her goals, which has definitely helped her develop as an artist. Currently, Ashland has a steady gig at a local honky tonk, Wendell's Dippin' Branch, where she is the lead singer of the house band. Though she loves her job, Ashland is hoping "The Voice" can help her prove that it's possible to make it no matter where you're from.
