J-14 is scouting out the hottest music around and this week's pick is singer-songwriter Asher Monroe!
Here are five things you need to know about Asher Monroe, who's currently in the studio working on his debut album!
1. Does Asher Monroe look familiar to you? That's because he's a jack-of-all-trades. He got his start on Broadway and TV, was a member of V Factory (as "Asher Book"), and starred in the movie Fame. "I never kept my abilities to perform to just one type of genre. Sometimes in this business it comes down to luck, preparation, timing, and ability to keep going when you get knocked down," Asher tells J-14. "I tried to seize every opportunity that came my way, whether that was singing, acting, or even dancing!"
2. With an album in the works, Asher is excited to get his music out there as a solo artist. "That's the great thing about my album. All the people that have listened to it so far have told me there is a song in it for everyone and they each have there favorite," he says. "I have a little pop, some rock, some great catchy up tempos and some slow amazing ballads. There is definitely something in there for everyone!"
