A ROLE model to hordes of young people for her starring roles in the Disney Channel’s blockbuster movie High School Musical and TV series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Ashley Tisdale has been known primarily as an actress who brings to life characters other people have written for her.
But with the release of her debut album, Headstrong, on Warner Bros. Records, Tisdale is finally getting a chance to be herself and tell her own stories. The album – 12 tracks of urban-flavored pop, rhythmic groove, and touching balladry co-written by a host of top-notch songwriters and producers – is a portrait of the 21-year-old.
“For my fans, Headstrong is a chance to get to know me better,” Tisdale says in a press release released by Warner Bros Records.
“People know my characters, but they don’t know me. I’ve never really spilled many details about my life in interviews.
“But on this album, I’m talking about what’s happened in my life and what is personal to me. I want people to know that I’m a real person, and that I’ve been through normal situations, like crushes and heartbreaks. I think hearing my stories will help the audience relate better to me.”
With co-writer credits on three tracks (Over It, Suddenly and Not Like That), Tisdale was determined to record songs that touched her personally and that contained lyrics she could identify with.
“I connected to every single song,” she says. “Every single one has a story behind it.
“The album is called Headstrong because I’m a pretty headstrong type of person,” Tisdale admits. “I know how I want to look, what songs I want to sing, and how I want to come across. So I’m definitely headstrong in that way.”
At 19, Tisdale was cast as Sharpay in the Emmy-winning High School Musical, directed by Kenny Ortega. A pop-culture phenomenon, the film premiered in January 2006 and was the highest-rated telecast in Disney Channel history. In addition, Tisdale scored a coup when she became the first female artist ever to debut with two songs – both from the movie’s soundtrack – simultaneously on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
“That is just crazy,” she says. “It’s surreal. I seriously can’t comprehend it.”
