Musical career

In 2007, she and her Cobra Starship bandmates went on the Fall Out Boy-headlined Honda Civic Tour, along with +44, The Academy Is..., and Paul Wall. She provided vocals in place of Carol Heller on +44's song "Make You Smile".[6] As keytarist for Cobra Starship, Asher was one of few women who performed at Warped Tour which at the time was a male-dominated punk rock festival.[7]

Now a solo artist, Asher still writes her own music, blogs, and creates tour footage montages. She self-released her first single, "Protect This Love", in March 2016.[8][9] Nine months later, her second single, "Push Comes to Shove", a collaboration with Jon Walker, was uploaded onto her YouTube channel, and released on iTunes the next day.[10] In 2019, Asher released singles "Picture to Burn" and "Hollow".[11][12][13]

In 2016, she created the company Muted Color, through which she released "Clouds" (2017), "Turn It Low" (2017), "Ghost" (2017), "Another Word for Paradise" (2017), "Kryptonite" (2019), "Hollow" (2019), and her four-track EP, Feeling Myself Without You (2019).[14]

In 2021, Cobra Starship reunited and debuted the single 'Party With You'. Asher remains a key member of the band.[15]
