PROJECT BACKGROUND:

Singer/songwriter Ashley Parker Angel and star of MTV's hit music reality series "There & Back" will release his solo debut album Soundtrack To Your Life on today on Blackground/Universal. The first single "Let U Go" debuted at #17 on Billboard's Hot 100 list making Angel's single the highest new entry in 2006. The single also reached #1 on MTV's TRL countdown and was the #1 most added song to Top 40 radio stations the first week it was released to radio.

Ashley Parker Angel was previously a member of ABC's "The Making of The Band" multi-platinum group O-Town. The band dissolved in 2002 and Angel packed up and moved to Los Angeles to become a solo artist. MTV: Music Television followed the musical journey of an old face with an entirely new act in "There & Back," a music reality series chronicling the life of the former O-Town heartthrob. Angel is broke, his girlfriend is pregnant, and his entire music career rides on the success of his solo debut album. The unscripted dramatic series followed Ashley in his new life as he tried to once again to break through the music industry -- this time doing it his way and on his own.

The Soundtrack To Your Life album takes Ashley Parker Angel in new directions -- his new edgy rock sound and his songwriting ability is reflected on the album. He co-wrote the entire album and worked with notable producers such as The Matrix (Avril Lavigne, Korn), Max Martin (Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears) and Soulshock & Karlin.

Since wrapping the MTV show, Ashley Parker Angel has been busy on a national radio promo tour and making special appearances including Live with Regis and Kelly. Angel recently performed his hit single "Let U Go" live on TRL on April 18th, 2006 and was recently tapped by Teen People to join their Rock N Shop Tour starting in July.
