Kassi Ashton

Rising country music artist Kassi Ashton teamed up with Roland Corporation to give her fans a behind-the-scenes look at her first song “California, Missouri.” She opened up about the experience of growing up in a small town, torn between the arts and the country lifestyle. This combination of worlds provided her with the unique experiences that led her to become Universal Music Group’s new darling. Ashton’s debut release, “California, Missouri,” is the highlight of her upcoming video, and it shows a deep cut into her personal history. She shared her experiences growing up in a small town through an honest look at the insular community. “I always knew I had to write a song about my hometown because I grew up listening to country, and every song about hometowns was this romanticized, nostalgic sort of thing. Which is great, but half of my life in a small town was very different,” she admitted. “I just knew there had to be other people like me; I couldn’t be the only person who had a kind of love-hate relationship with their hometown. It was the great first introduction of like, ‘Okay! This is the background of the weird mix of a person that you’re about to see.’” Read the full story HERE.
