Ashlee Nicole Simpson (born October 3, 1984) is a U.S. singer, actress and the younger sister of singer Jessica Simpson. She rose to prominence in mid-2004, when her first album debuted at number one in sales following a successful reality show.
Early career
Simpson, the daughter of Joe and Tina Simpson, was born and raised in Texas, where she was home-schooled by her mother. While her sister Jessica, four years older, displayed an early talent for singing, Ashlee danced from the age of three and was admitted to the School of American Ballet in New York City at age 11.
After her sister Jessica signed a record deal, the family moved to Los Angeles, California, where Ashlee began auditioning for television commercials—her first commercial was for the department store Kohl's.2 Jessica achieved success in pop music in 1999 with her song "I Wanna Love You Forever" and the album Sweet Kisses, and Ashlee became a backup dancer in Jessica's concerts. She also appeared in an episode of the TV sitcom Malcolm in the Middle and had a minor role in the 2002 movie The Hot Chick, a comedy starring Rob Schneider. 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 she stopped regular appearances.
Music and film
In 2003, Simpson recorded a song, "Just Let Me Cry," for the soundtrack to the movie Freaky Friday; in the same year she signed a record deal with Geffen Records. Simpson recorded an album, Autobiography, which was released in the U.S. on July 20, 2004. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart in its first week and was certified triple platinum in September 2004. Its first single, "Pieces of Me", preceded the album and was one of the most popular songs in the U.S. in the mid-2004, and it also achieved some success internationally. The follow-up single, "Shadow", was less successful. In some countries, "La La" is the third single; in the United Kingdom, it is the second single instead of "Shadow". |
