Each woman has had a successful place in the music industry, and now that they have come together they can be even bigger and grander than ever before. They met on social media and were attracted to each other through shared interests. They officially formed in 2019 to bring their talent and artistry to the forefront of the industry. Not only does LA’DY perform their music, but they also write and compose it themselves.
“Love Me Down” is made as a symphony of multiple instruments each played by a different member. Using the drums, bass, and guitar to back up Ashley Kimbrae’s beautiful singing with an incredibly smooth and positive rhythm. The song is a powerful showcase of the talents that each member possesses and their skill to combine in unison.
LA’DY is a band that will grow in recognition as they continue to make more music for their audience. They have shown one single of their upcoming EP which has already shown the power they can achieve. They are a hopeful symbol for young artists starting their careers and they prove that anything is possible through hard work and effort and anyone can become big no matter who they are.
