Ashley Walls

Ashley Walls is a Georgia native with deep roots in Marietta, where she and her twin sister grew up living the best of both worlds – surrounded by the charm of country life, yet close enough to the city to feel the energy of it all. From a young age, Ashley was drawn to music, often found playing her grandpa’s guitars and belting out country tunes with him. She was known to carry a guitar everywhere she went, creating impromptu songs for strangers she met along the way.

Her passion only grew as she got older. She joined choir, acted in plays, and spent countless hours writing and practicing music after school. Performing at pep rallies and around Georgia, Ashley was determined to pursue her musical dreams. She later attended the University of Georgia, where she studied marketing and music business (Go Dawgs!) while continuing to write and perform. It wasn’t long before her songs were being played on iHeart Media stations, and she had the privilege of opening for artists like Billy Ray Cyrus on tours across the Southeast.

Recognizing the call to make music her full-time focus, Ashley graduated early and made the move to Nashville, where she has been working tirelessly to create a catalog of songs straight from the heart. With influences of country and pop, her music tells the story of her journey and the experiences that shaped her.

Join Ashley on this wild ride of music and storytelling— the fun is just beginning!

McKayla Marie was the artsy kid. With a pen and paper in hand, she was always busy creating something. In her early years, she dreamed of becoming a Disney cartoonist, but once she stumbled upon songwriting, she knew she had a different path ahead of her.

At age 9, McKayla’s parents surprised her with guitar lessons so she could put music to her melodies. Once she learned to play a few songs, she was out in the world ready to play and sing for anyone who would listen.

With musical influences such as Garth Brooks, Maren Morris, and Kacey Musgraves, McKayla has created a style that encompasses the characteristics of her heroes.

In 2020, McKayla Marie released her debut single, “Young Love'“, which reached over 17,000 streams in the first week of the release. In 2021, McKayla moved to Nashville and released the heart-felt ballad, “Half Life” shortly after. Both “Young Love” and “Half Life” landed on iconic Spotify and Apple Music playlists and continue to reach people daily.

While McKayla currently lives in Nashville, she makes the trek back to her hometown in Oregon each summer to tour around the Pacific Northwest with her band.
