About Ashley Alexandra DuprĂ© - AKA “Kristen”
From her “MySpace” page, c/w her own soundtrack
I am all about my music, and my music is all about me⊠It flows from what Iâve been through, what Iâve seen and how I feel. I live in New York and am on top of the world. Been here since 2004 and I love this city, I love my life here. But, my path has not been easy. When I was 17, I left home. It was my decision and Iâve never looked back. Left my hometown. Left a broken family. Left abuse. Left an older brother who had already split. Left and learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again. Learned what it was like to wake up one day and have the people you care about most gone. I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music. It started when I moved in with a musician during my odyssey to New York. One day, I was in the shower singing ârespect.â He and his lead guitarist burst in, had me repeat it and it started. We wrote, rehearsed and toured. After recording a bit with them, I decided to move to Manhattan to pursue my music career. I spent the first two years getting to know the music scene, networking in clubs and connecting with the industry. Now, itâs all about my music. Itâs all about expressing me. I can sit here now, and knowingly tell you that lifeâs hard sometimes. But, I made it. Iâm still here and I love who I am. If I never went through the hard times, I would not be able to appreciate the good ones. ClichĂ©, yes, but I know itâs true. I have experienced just how hard it can be. I can honestly tell you to never dwell on the past, but build from it and keep moving forward. Donât let anyone hold you back or tell you that you canâtâŠbecause you can. I didnât and here I am, just listen to itâŠ. What we Want is my latest track. Itâs really about trust, something my past has made very difficult for me to feel. This one was inspired by a guy, who taught me not to confuse my dreams with the sounds of the cityâŠI hope you like it.
Anybody else smell a book/movie deal?

Getting busted as a high priced hooker, doin’ the Governor of New York, is probably going to be the best thing that ever happened to this woman.
