Like her mom, Ashanti is a strong woman who stands alone — which is why not many were surprised when she went independent.

She explained: “What led me to go independent? I had offers from seven majors at one time and it was really hard to sit, you know, me being Libra, and be like, “Okay, what should I do? Where should I go? I don’t know what to do.” And at that time the labels were offering 360 deals, and I’m just not a fan of that, that’s not my thing. So I made the very bold decision and scary decision to go independent.”

She added: “And just as an artist, that has had success—I’m very humble—and I’ve had relationships to be able to make phone calls and, you know, strengthen my partnership with iTunes/Apple and things like that. So I think it’s beneficial when you own your masters. It’s a digital world, you know, at the touch of a button you can expose your music to millions of people.”

She concluded by: “So I think just learning to trust myself, learning to be motivated to say, “Hey, your future is in your hands and your destiny,” is really important. You have to kind of be in the driver’s seat and know what’s going on. It’s tough being the executive and the artist. I feel like I would be in the studio at some point, and I’m like, “I want to stay in here all night. You know, I want to record for five days.” And the other side of me is like, “Yeah, but who’s going to pay that bill?” So you have to be like the exec and the artist and still be creative, you know? So I think it was a really great decision now, and I had so many of my peers calling me like, “I should have did that when you did it, and I’m doing it now.”

Ashanti inspires her followers in different ways.
