Biography:
“I’m
a simple girl in a complex world,” sings 19-year-old Ashlee
Simpson on a track aptly titled “Autobiography” from her
debut Geffen Records album Pieces of Me. But that doesn’t
begin to sum up this multi-talented performer’s accomplishments
at her tender age.
With a regular role as Cecilia in WB’s hit TV Seventh
Heaven , the upcoming Ashlee reality series on MTV and
debut album bowing in July, Ashlee is about to emerge
from the shadows.
“I’ve always been obsessed with music,” says Ashlee, who
adds that her tastes—along with her album—are not at all
like older sister Jessica’s. “We’re into totally different
bands and artists.”
Produced by John Shanks (Michele Branch, Sheryl Crow,
Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morrissette, Unwritten Law),
the new album has elements of rock, punk, and pop, recalling
Ashlee’s own favorite bands—ranging from Janis Joplin
and Steve Nicks to Pat Benatar, the Pretenders and Blondie
through Fiona Apple, Hole and Green Day.
Ashlee co-wrote every song on the album. “I just wanted
to go in and make a record and not worry about what genre
it would be,” she says. “I went in to have a good time
and did. It’s a rock record, with a cool edge to it. It’s
the first time people are getting to hear what I sound
like.”
The first single, “Pieces of Me,” is a full-throttle rocker
about a best friend who brings comfort at the end of a
long, stressful day of work. “It’s like a sigh,” she says.
“When I finally see him, all the other dramas fade away.”
“Autobiography” plays around with her public image, daring
those who want to know her to walk up and “baby just ask
me.” The tongue-in-cheek rave-up “LaLa” is about sexual
fantasies, with Ashlee role-playing as an alley cat and
a French maid, but all in fun. “There’s a lot of sarcasm
in that song,” she says. “It’s something every girl thinks
about, so I decided to make a joke about it. It’s one
of the songs you can dance around to.”
The Waco, TX-born Ashlee has been dancing since she was
three, and by 11, she was the youngest person ever admitted
into the prestigious School of American Ballet. She moved
to L.A. with her parents and Jessica when she was 14,
pursuing an acting career and dancing in her sister’s
stage show, but dreaming of doing music all the while.
She went on to make appearances on Malcolm in the Middle
and The View before landing a regular role in Seventh
Heaven. Last year, she had the track “Just Let Me Cry”
on Disney’s Freaky Friday soundtrack, and then began recording
earlier this year on breaks from filming the TV show.
“I’ve been working on the album for five months now, and
I’m just so excited for it to come out,” she says. “I
feel like it’s very true to who I am. I was there every
step of the way. My acting experience really helped me
get into the characters of the songs and be in the moment
with them. I was able to go back to the events I’m singing
about and bring them to life.”
Coinciding with the release of the new album, Ashlee is
also starring in her own MTV reality series, which will
track her through the whole process.
“Jessica said she couldn’t believe I was doing a show
also,” she laughs. “Now, when I come over, I bring over
my cameras, while there’s always a crew around her house.
It’s actually quite funny. Jess taught me it’s cool to
be yourself.”
With the album done, Ashlee looks back and calls the experience
“therapeutic.” “Anything I held on my shoulders, I got
to put it out there. It enabled me to find out who I am,
to discover my identity in the world.”
