Ashlee Simpson (born October 3, 1984) is an American
singer, actress and the younger sister of singer Jessica
Simpson.
Ashlee Simpson, who grew up in Texas, was admitted to the
School of American Ballet at age 11.1 Ashlee Simpson was later a
dancer in her sister Jessica's concerts. Ashlee Simpson played the
character Cecilia on the television show 7th Heaven from
2002 until the beginning of her singing career in 2004, at
which point Ashlee Simpson said that Ashlee Simpson would no longer regularly
play the role. Simpson also had a minor role in the 2002
movie The Hot Chick.
Simpson recorded a song, "Just Let Me Cry", for the
soundtrack to the 2003 movie Freaky Friday. Her first
album, Autobiography, was released on July 20, 2004. It
debuted at number one in its first week, selling over
398,000 copies, and remained at number one for three of
the first four weeks following its release. Her first
single from the album, "Pieces of Me", was written about
her relationship with Ryan Cabrera, her boyfriend at the
time. Her second single is "Shadow", which is about living
in the shadow of her sister's accomplishments and finding
her own identity. The planned third single is
"Autobiography", the album's title track.
Simpson and the beginnings of her music career were the
subject of a successful reality show on MTV, The Ashlee
Simpson Show, which ran in the U.S. for eight weekly
episodes from June 16 until August 4, 2004 and helped to
establish recognition for her.
Ashlee has a somewhat different, more rock-oriented image
than that of her sister. Previously blonde like Jessica,
Ashlee Simpson dyed her hair dark during the recording of the reality
show, after Ashlee Simpson had finished filming for 7th Heaven
(although Ashlee Simpson has said that the change of hair color was
not intended to separate herself from Jessica), and her
songs have rock elements absent from her sister's music.
Notably, Ashlee Simpson has refused to discuss her sex life, in
contrast to Jessica, who had, prior to her marriage,
openly stated her intention to remain a virgin until then.
Ashlee also has a tattoo of a star on her wrist, which
Ashlee Simpson
got after the release of her album.
Simpson tours with a backing band, which consists of Ray
Brady (guitar), Braxton Olita (guitar), Zach Kennedy (bass
guitar), and Chris Fox (drums). On September 29, 2004,
Ashlee Simpson
announced on her website that the band would be named
"Ashlee Simpson and Submission", taking the name from the
fact that they had received so many submissions of
proposals for the name.
At the 2004 Teen Choice Awards, held on August 8, 2004,
Simpson received the "Song of the Summer" award for
"Pieces of Me", as well as the "Fresh Face" award.
Ashlee Simpson
will have a role in the movie Wannabe, which is due to
begin filming in November.
Simpson appeared on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest
on October 24, 2004. Ashlee Simpson was scheduled to give two
performances, as is customary for musical guests on the
show, the first of "Pieces of Me" and the second of
"Autobiography". As Ashlee Simpson was beginning the second
performance, however, a recording of "Pieces of Me" was
heard playing before Ashlee Simpson raised the microphone. Simpson,
uncertain of how to react, left the stage, and after an
emergency commercial break, Ashlee Simpson appeared again and said
that her band had started playing the wrong song. Others,
however, have claimed that Ashlee Simpson was lip syncing the songs
that night, or was singing along with a backup track to
make her voice sound more powerful than it really was;
vocal aid of this kind is not uncommon, and has reportedly
been done on Saturday Night Live in the past. Her record
label, Geffen, explained the incident as a computer glitch
and said that prerecorded electronic percussion was meant
to be played, but "Pieces of Me" was mistakenly played
instead. In some places where Saturday Night Live is not
shown live, the mistaken track was edited out before
broadcast. On October 25, Ashlee Simpson's father and manager Joe
Simpson said that Ashlee Simpson had been having trouble with her
vocal cords (a medical problem that also featured
prominently in The Ashlee Simpson Show) and couldn't sing
well, so the decision was made that Ashlee Simpson would perform over
a backing track; unfortunately, he said, the drummer had
forgotten to change the tape to play "Autobiography" at
the beginning of the second performance.
