Who Is Ashley Brooks? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

Who is Ashley Brooks? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Ashley Brooks

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Ashley Lauren Brooks
Birthdate – 03/09/1996
Hometown – Hickory Flat, Georgia
Current City – Ball Ground, Georgia
Musical Influences – Lee Ann Womack, Allison Krause, Reba, Janis Joplin
Label – Droptine & Marshals of the Revolution
Current Single – “Better Bars” (as of date of article: 01/19/2026)

The Beginning:

Women in country music are always worth celebrating! Today we shine our spotlight on a talented female, newcomer in the genre, Ashley Brooks. Brooks chatted with us all about her love of country music, stepping into the limelight, and everything that truly makes her the artist that she is.

“I’m currently in North, Georgia,” she began. “I grew up with a dad who was in bands my whole childhood. He’s a guitar player. So when I got old enough, I asked him to be in a band with me, and he said that if I could write songs, he would.” Throughout her childhood, Brooks was always enamored with music, finding it to be a constant throughout her life.

“I remember being super, super little watching ‘The Little Mermaid,’ and trying to replicate her singing in the mirror, so my parents got me a karaoke machine. I remember being really little and sitting in my room with the OG country CDs and just singing along with them. […] I knew it was something that I loved. My dad bought me my first guitar,” shared the songstress.

She fell in love with artists like Lee Ann Womack, The Judds, and Loretta Lynn at an early age. “I always listened to country music,” she shared, adding, “My dad was actually more into the 80s rock bands, so I know a ton of 80s rock as well. It’s been in my blood since birth now.”

The Turning Point:

Despite loving country music and having natural talent, Brooks pursued a career in healthcare. “I dove into the healthcare world, and I made a great career in Georgia, and then I was like you know, I’m 20 something years old, if I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it, and I started writing my first song, and people really took to it.”

With the support of her dad, whose been in her band since its inception and the help of her mom running the merch stand, Brooks took the plunge into the crazy, yet exciting world of country music. “I want to be the Lee Ann Womack crossbred with Gretchen Wilson, like wild and rowdy, but can sing the bluegrass, heartfelt, high tones too,” shared the singer.

Slowly, but surely, Brooks started making waves on social media with her music, especially her song, “Leaving Side Of You.” Eventually, after writing music mostly by herself, Brooks started writing with SONY, which gave her the confidence and the experience to continue down this exciting path.

“Songwriting is the bread and butter of what I do. Songwriting is definitely it. I was going through a really tough period of my life in 2023, a lot of emotional stuff, and I just decided to pour it into music. That I feel like is what took it to the next level, just taking your life experiences, like Taylor Swifting somebody, and just literally writing a song about someone. But I always wrote alone, and then I started writing at SONY and other writers.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, 2026 is looking to be the biggest year yet for Brooks. A the end of the 2025, she released her sassy song, “For The Bar,” as well as, an acoustic cover of her viral song, “Leaving Side Of You.” “There’s this whole next level of songwriting with so many talented people. I’m just trying to grow my skills and do more collaborating,” she shared when talking about gaining experience in the industry.

When asked about “For The Bar,” Brooks shared that the song just fell out. The track adds to her growing live show too. “”For The Bar” was a cool idea that I had, a lot of times men are at the bar, but not really looking for anything but a hookup, and for women, a lot of the time it’s just so not traditional. So we were at SONY one day, and I was showing them this idea. […] It’s just kind of a “you didn’t see that coming in a song” kinda thing.”

In addition to “For The Bar,” Brooks also released a song called “Better Bars.” The single is another tempo track that feels live show ready, something that the singer hopes to do a lot more of this year.

“I’m keeping the momentum going, and hopefully being back on the Grand Ole Opry stage,” shared the singer. Stay tuned for more from Brooks!

The new song is fun, and stage-ready, a perfect addition of Moroney’s impressive catalog of songs.

“Let me set you the scene // November circa 2019 // Put a hole in my heart, watched it bleed // You said that we were better off as strangers // I was barely alive // Out of 6 feet deep I was 5 // Pretty sure they called a hearse outside // Ok that’s dramatic but I survived…then I survived // The ”Hey Meg I think I want you back, // I’m a couple drinks in thinking it’s my bad // That I let you walk away and let you go” // It’s a tale as old as time I guess // When you couldn’t care more, I couldn’t care less // You’re a little too late to the party, heartbreaker // What doesn’t kill you calls you 6 months later”

Who Is KC Bruner? The Story Behind Her Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

Who is KC Bruner? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about her journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

KC Bruner

Quick Facts:

Full Name – KC Bruner
Birthdate -04/08/2004
Hometown – Swisher, Iowa
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, Megan Moroney, George Strait, Loretta Lynn
Label – Electric Feel Records
Current Single – “Country Magic Spell” (as of date of article: 01/12/2026)

The Beginning:

2026 is looking to be a great year in country music already! We’re excited to continue introducing you to artists you may or may not be familiar. Today, we’re shining our spotlight on singer-songwriter, KC Bruner.

Hailing from a small-town in Iowa called, Swisher, Bruner grew up loving music; despite, not thinking about it as a future career for her (at first). “I grew up with my mom working in a small hair salon and my dad always had a side job, and he would do gigs on the weekends for private shows and events,” she shared, adding, “On his side of the family there was a lot of music and a lot of older country songs that I fell in love with. Then I also would sing at my youth group at church on Wednesdays and Sundays, so that was the main part of how I got introduced to music.”

Catching the music bug early, Bruner recalls spending many hours in her room writing and learning to play guitar. “I would just write on my own, and I didn’t do any shows, unless my dad had a gig, and he would let me come do one song with him.” She drew inspiration from her own experiences and stories that friends and family shared, all while becoming a big fan of the country music genre too.

“Alan Jackson for sure [is one of my favorites]. I love like everybody in a way. I never got hyper-fixated on one artist, it was always I like that song. I love Dolly Parton, George strait, Taylor Swift’s older country music. I did like Carrie Underwood, Loretta Lynn. It just ranges, a bunch of sad songs with a bunch of meaning or stories I loved.”

The Turning Point:

After graduating high-school early, Bruner followed in her mother’s footsteps and went to hair school and then moved back home to work at her mother’s salon – all while still writing music for fun. “I got more and more into writing, and thought maybe if I went to Nashville, I could become a songwriter or something, but I was pretty focused on my other career, and then it all kind of just happened out of nowhere,” she shared.

On what seemed like a whim, Bruner’s sister asked her if she wanted to move to Nashville. “I moved here with my sister, her boyfriend, and his two brothers, and originally, the three brothers all wanted to do music. […] I just thought I could make more money in Nashville doing hair. I lived in a house with them for a while, and I just did hair, and I would write at home for fun with them or on my own, and then I got my own apartment,” she shared.

Despite being surrounded by the best in music, Bruner was still focused on her blossoming career; however, when she got really sick out of nowhere, her life changed on a dime. “It definitely put me in a position where I was like, “what do I want to do the rest of my life.” […] it was really hard on me, and it made me super grateful for how you wake up everyday and be able to sing or talk to your friends, and that’s when I started posting, and then it didn’t take long until I got reached out to. And I started cutting days at the salon, and now I’m pretty music-focused.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, Bruner is focused on making a name for herself in country music, releasing music that speaks to her talent as a singer and as a songwriter. In the last quarter of 2025, the songstress released a haunting song called, “Country Magic Spell,” that fans on social media fell in love with almost instantly.

“Someone told me I should write a Christmas song, and [instead], I ended up writing “Country Magic Spell” which is a spooky song and more of a Halloween song,” she shared, laughing, as she shared the unique story. “To me the song is about how when I moved here, nobody I knew listened to country music, especially the classic country that I loved the most, and they started sending me songs, and I was like, “I’ve been telling you that.” I thought I could change the way they thought of country music, and then I did meet a guy who didn’t love country music, and I knew I could change that too. It kind of all fell into my head, that I’m just going to put a spell on you and make you like country music, like if you’ll fall in love with me, you’ll like it also.”

“Country Magic Spell” is a perfect introduction into the fun-loving side of the singer; however, this year fans are going to get a more in depth look into who Bruner is and what she’s been through. Her soon-to-be-released song, “Bible and the Bottle” is available to be presaved here. The song is about loving an addict, and it’s a vulnerable song that is sure to keep people talking about her talent and honest. Make sure to keep Bruner on your radar!

HunterGirl Shares New Song “Somewhere Wild” to Kick off the New Year

/in , , /by

HunterGirl shares brand new song, “Somewhere Wild,” available now, January 9th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

2026 is bringing a new era of music for singer-songwriter, HunterGirl. She is firmly planting her boots and digging in her heels, creating music that truly is her sound. Today, she releases one of her best songs to date. “Somewhere Wild” is officially out now.

Written by the songstress with Jeff Garrison and Bob DiPiero, “Somewhere Wild” embodies grit, nostalgia, and coming back home to yourself all in one song. According to HunterGirl, the song needed to be written. ‘Somewhere Wild’ was a song that just fell out in the writing room. It was exactly where my heart was at the beginning of this year,” she shared, adding, “When I was little, my Grandpa had a place by the creek he called The Wilderness. He made it magical. You had to say The Wilderness three times before running through the woods with my sister and cousins, and for a moment it felt like anything could happen.”

“Wanna live up to the country in my blood // and see everything the good Lord’s done // Wanna flow like a river // Wanna roll like a stone // Don’t you know the flowers ain’t the only that grows // somewhere wild // Somewhere, somewhere wild”

“Somewhere Wild” is a truly a song for the dreamers, for the free-spirits, and for the country music lovers. The track is catchy, raw, real, and a must-listen to. “‘Somewhere Wild’ became my way back. It was a journey of finding myself again and reigniting that spark of endless possibility. It is a reminder that it is never too late to grow, and that sometimes being lost is what leads you home.”
