Sometimes when the child of a celebrity tries to pursue the same field as their famous parent, they don’t want to be perceived as trying to ride in on their parent’s coattails. They’ll distance themselves from their famous last name, or try to play down who they’re related to, but Ashley Campbell, daughter of Glen Campbell says, “I’m proud of my Dad and where I came from, and I would never try to push that aside or hide it. I want to let my music speak for itself. If people want to compare me to my Dad that’s fine, but I’m not going to compare myself to anyone. All I can be is me.”
Ashley’s debut single, “Remembering,” is a song that was inspired by her dad and his battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
