AYLA TELLS THE BOSTON GLOBE WHY SHE IS PURSUING A CAREER IN COUNTRY MUSIC
AUGUST 19
Ayla is profiled in an article by Lenny Megliola in today's edition of The Boston Globe. The article focuses on her new musical direction, as she explains her decision to pursue a career in country music. Read a portion of the piece below:
Don't look now, but Ayla Brown just crossed over. After years of pursuing pop music fame, and graduating from Boston College this spring, the daughter of the Bay State's freshman US senator is going country.
She has her reasons. OK, she’s tall and beautiful. She can’t change that. But she doesn't want the sexy stuff that dominates the music industry to define her. Not like Lady Ga-Ga, Janet Jackson, or a young Madonna. She wants to be a role model for young girls.
"I don’t want to be on stage shaking my butt to get fans," says Brown. "The pop world is not where I see my future."
So the former "American Idol" contestant is embarking on a country music career. "I'm excited and nervous," she says. "It's like starting over again"....Read more.
Ayla also mentioned she is currently filming a music video for one of her country tracks, "My Favorite Part," and she recounts her most memorable gig (singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" with The Boston Pops in 2006) as well as the dynamics of her relationship with her family.
Ayla will debut her country sound with her new band tomorrow night when she performs in concert at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Mass., at 8 p.m. For more information on the concert visit RegentTheatre.com [photo courtesy of Jonathan Wiggs / Globe Staff].
