Marilyn Ashford Brown: Just Doing Me!

A very special thanks to all of my fans and supporters for your continued support.

Especially to my new European  and Japan  fan base abroad. You have shown unbelievable support for my  new Just Doing Me  CD.  I have read all of  your email's and requests for a European Tour and we're certainly working on it for 2010.

Because of you, this  independently released cd is proving to have staying power with consistent and increased digital downloads and online CD Sales. The inspirational track 1 titled, I've Got A Feeling and the soulful, track 3 titled, Anything (in the world) have received very promising amounts of downloads. This 2009 release is crossing over into 2010 with endless possilities. A very special thank you to Di-Lee, DJ Funk-O-Nots and everyone who have been very instrumental in promoting my music abroad.

In a recent interview I was asked "what is the best part about being a singer-songwriter and recording artist"  I replied, "drawing from the inspiration which inspires my creations and realizing how much my music impacts others...not to mention the endless possibilities".

"Other artists are always looking for new music to record".  "Movie Producers features music  for  soundtracks. Advertising and Marketing Agencies often incorporate music with their advertisements, especially in TV Commercials".  "Because of this, there's always the possibility of my music being picked up".

The Washington Post's favorable CD Review  wrote that "Marilyn Ashford Brown's music seems almost tailored made to suit  her". This Just Doing Me CD however, has music that could easily suit other industry artists.  For Beyounce's next  CD, the sassy, track 8 titled,  How Much would be a great fit for her sassy voice and repertooire.  The soulful, Track titled, Anything (in the world)  makes an easy fit for Fantasia's upcoming CD.

One earlier inspirational track from the 2007 Still Standing CD titled, The Jesus In Me would make  a perfect  fit for Kirk Franklin's contempoary style and would have been awesome for  Whitney Houston's comeback cd.  It's the kind of song that would have shined on someone who has faced so many trials and tribulations. Songs have been re-recorded many times by various artists.. I believe that Diane Schurr would be proud of my rendition of her Louisiana Sunday Afternoon just as Earth, Wind & Fire would hopefully be proud of my earlier  rendition of Can't Hide Love. Yes,  the possibilities ARE endless especially for 2010.

Without your support I could not do this... With God, All Things Are Possible.

Soul Tracks September 2009
No matter what folks may have you believe, there is actually no such thing as an ‘overnight success.' For every comedian who gets that career-defining film cameo, there are others who are just as hilarious and camera-ready still struggling in the clubs. For every performer who's debut release hits number one, there are peers who are equally as talented, yet don't get their shine until that well-produced or better-promoted sophomore set.  Exemplifying this reality is singer and songwriter Marilyn Ashford Brown, whose third CD, Just Doing Me!, finally packages her gifts in the crisp, contemporary wrapping that they deserve.

Washington Post September 2009
THE WASHINGTON POST SAYS  "Marilyn Ashford Brown isn't the sort of R&B vocalist who need to rely on songwriters for inspiration, and her output almost always seems tailor-made to suit her talents  and  capitalize on her influences".   "In the end, Ashford-Brown covers a lot of ground with personality and assurance to spare.
Mike Joyce The Washington Post. Read full review.

The U.K. loves Marilyn Ashford Brown's new CD, and she loves them.   The "Still Standing" CD sales  took her  music to faraway places  never imagined.  Such places like the U.K. , Germany , Tokyo , The  UKraine and Canada .   It  appears that her new, "Just Doing Me" CD will surpass it".   Is a European Tour in the future?  

 "The CD Buzz"  has is that  Recording Artist, Marilyn Ashford Brown  has one of the hottest New Independent CD  Releases for 2009).   She's making her own way in the Recording Industry by going at it independently and it's finally pay off.    After years of knocking on the doors of record executives, she's giving them something to stop and take notice.   Will Music Mogul, Clive Davis finally give her the much anticipated major distribution deal that she's so long prayed for?
