Early Life
Ashlie Amber is an American country singer born in Thornton, Colorado. Amber (as well as her brother) is the youngest of four children in her family. She started her road in music very early, at six.
She started playing music for fun, not being committed to a type of music, just for entertainment. Shortly after, she suffered from losing her father, which propelled her musical journey to new heights.
From the loss of Amber’s father, she and her family suffered anguish and misery.
The way Amber was able to lead herself out of that misery was through music. She used music as therapy to keep herself strong during a hard time of losing her father and to manifest her true purpose in life, music.
In middle and high school, she started taking singing and art in general seriously.
Amber performed in numerous talent shows, in a choir, in theatre, and live events. She was very active and eager to build her talent.
She did this throughout her middle school and high school career. Once she graduated, she decided to begin a music career.
