Growing up with Glen Campbell as her dad, it would almost seem natural that Ashley Campbell has chosen a career in music, but actually, it almost wasn’t her first career choice. She says, “I was actually pursuing an acting career throughout high school and college. I did a lot of improv, sketch comedy and musical theater. I wanted to be on Saturday Night Live. I was even accepted at LAMDA to study acting in London, but chose to start touring with my Dad instead. I’m super glad I made that decision.”
Touring with her dad led to her recording her song, “Remembering,” which first appeared on the soundtrack for the documentary, “Glen Campbell … I’ll Be Me.” Now it is the lead single off of Ashley’s forthcoming debut album on Dot Records.
