About Ashley Cooke
Ashley Cooke has exploded into the pop/country scene, named Music Row Discovery “Artist of the Year” in 2023 and earning CMT Music Award’s “Breakthrough Female Video of the Year” with her first #1 Country Radio hit single “Your Place.” And she is just getting started. Through her skillfully crafted lyrics and a knack for unforgettable performances, Cooke’s popularity has led to more than 270M global streams with chart-climbing hits like “It’s Been A Year” and “Never Til Now” with Brett Young. The past two years also found her making debuts at the world famous Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry along with national TV appearances on ABC’s “The Bachelorette” and NBC’s “TODAY.”
Writing her first song by age 11, Cooke moved to Nashville at 18 and attended the prestigious Belmont University. As a Communications major, Cooke entered Belmont’s revered Country Showcase on a whim – and won. Soon named one of country music’s biggest up and coming new stars, Cooke was on national tours with Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis, Cole Swindell, Brett Young, and more.
Cooke’s striking debut “shot in the dark” garnered praise from Billboard who named her July 2023 Rookie of the Month; and Cooke was nominated 2023’s “ACM New Female Artist of the Year,” with additional accolades pouring in from across the country including honors from People, American Songwriter, MusicRow and iHeartCountry.
