Biography

Full Name: Ashley Michelle Tisdale
Born: 2/7/1985 - West Deal, New Jersey, USA
Occupation(s): Actress | Singer/Songwriter | TV Producer
Best Known Roles: Maddie Fitzpatrick ('Suite Life of Zack & Cody') | Sharpay Evans ('High School Musical' 1,2 & 3) | Voice of Candace ('Phineas & Ferb')
Solo Records: 'Headstrong' (2007) | 'Guilty Pleasure' (2009)

With an edgy, guitar-driven pop-rock sound, Guilty Pleasure is a creative and mature leap forward for this appealing young singer and songwriter, who launched a career as a solo artist with her gold-certified Top 5 rhythmic-pop debut Headstrong in 2007. On the new album, Tisdale collaborated with a host of top top-flight producers and songwriters, such as Kara DioGuardi (Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood), Toby Gad (Beyoncé, Fergie), Billy Steinberg (Madonna), Emanuel Kiriakou (David Archuleta, Nick Lachey), and Swedish production team Twin (Headstrong singles “Not Like That” and “Be Good To Me”), and co-wrote several tracks.

The album’s first single, “It’s Alright, It’s OK” — a spunky break-up anthem about being single and in control of your life for the first time — has been put into rotation on MTV and has been featured on such hit shows as So You Think You Can Dance and The Hills. Tisdale will perform on Walmart’s Soundcheck and AOL Sessions this summer.

Already beloved for starring in the High School Musical franchise, Tisdale took home a 2009 MTV Movie Award in the “Breakthrough Performance, Female” category for her role in High School Musical 3: Senior Year, beating out Amanda Seyfried, Freida Pinto, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kat Dennings.
