Marilyn Ashford-Brown isn't at all moved or caught up in the glamour of the business. She just simply wants to sing, doing what she loves doing more than anything else in the world. She once read a quote from actor, Harrison Ford, which has stayed with her for many years. It stated: "It's the people who get on the bus, and stay on it, who are successful, not the ones who get off".Well, she has been on the bus for almost three decades. The passengers who started the journey with her, got off early, but, she stayed on, and the ride has been much too long to turn back now.

No matter what folks may have you believe, there is actually no such thing as an 'overnight success.' For every comedian who gets that career-defining film cameo, there are others who are just as hilarious and camera-ready still struggling in the clubs. For every performer who's debut release hits number one, there are peers who are equally as talented, yet don't get their shine until that well-produced or better-promoted sophomore set. Exemplifying this reality is singer and songwriter Marilyn Ashford Brown, whose third CD, Just Doing Me!, finally packages her gifts in the crisp, contemporary wrapping that they deserve.

Washington Post September 2009
THE WASHINGTON POST SAYS "Marilyn Ashford Brown isn't the sort of R&B vocalist who need to rely on songwriters for inspiration, and her output almost always seems tailor-made to suit her talents and capitalize on her influences". "In the end, Ashford-Brown covers a lot of ground with personality and assurance to spare.
