Karan Ashley
Karan Ashley has had a career that has span over 20 years as an actress, singer, radio show host, reality star, writer and TV and film producer. Karan Ashley is currently working on the projects: Uncensored Reality, Uncensored Radio, and Grow Up Already.
She began her entertainment career as a child singer in the girl group KRUSH. They were signed to Perspective, A&M Records and had their first single, "Let’s Get Together" on the Mo Money soundtrack. They worked under the world famous Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as their exclusive artists. With the group they earned a platinum record and had a hit dance song, "Let’s Get Together" (So Groovy Now) and worked with such artists as Janet Jackson, Johnny Gill, Karen White, Lo-Key and Mint Condition.
After 5 years in KRUSH, Karan decided to dive head first and begin an acting career. She did several national commercials. Her big break came when she went to an open call audition and beat out over 10 thousand hopefuls and landed the role of Aisha the Yellow Power Ranger on the #1 kids show in America, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. She was able to do over 80 episodes and star in the hit movie Power Rangers the Movie that was released by 20th Century Fox.
Not stopping there she has beat the pavement for years and has been on many different TV shows and films such as, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, The Steve Harvey Show, One on One, The Parkers, Kenan & Kel, Chat Room, The Opposite Sex, Taylor’s Wall, Wicked Weekend, Jazz Scene, The Encounter, and many other projects. She has worked with many successful companies such as MTV, BET, ABC, Nickelodeon, Disney, The WB, 20th Century Fox, Asiatic Productions and formed the production company GAG Order films.
Although acting is her passion, while with GAG Order Films, she ventured into producing, writing and has starred in two feature films, Unto Thee and Devon’s Ghost. In both films she served as lead actress, writer and producer. Both films did well in film festivals and sold in over 17 countries in DVD sales. She worked as a producer for BET and did exclusive work with their BET on Jazz channel. She also produced a TV talk show with Sheryl Underwood that premiered on UPN.
She branched out on her own to form her very own production company and produced two television pilots. Her production company, KASH Pictures and Entertainment produced, created and wrote, A Day in the Life. A Day, paired Karan and Kel Mitchell as co-hosts to a reality based talk show. She also produced, created and wrote a show called Turning Point which she submitted to the OWN network and received over 14 thousand votes in one week.
Karan pushes herself creatively and is very proud of her latest project, Grow Up Already, where she is executive producer and creator. Grow up Already is a 30-minute sitcom starring Karan, Don “DC” Curry, Wesley Jonathan, Alisa Reyes, Katrina Johnson, Anneliese vanderPol, and many other talented actors. Comedy has always been a love of hers and she is in the process of selling this project to a network.
During the production of Grow Up Already, Karan got an email from Jeffrey Emmette asking her to come on his radio show Uncensored Radio. From their very first conversation they had chemistry so when Jeff asked Karan to come on as a guest host she could not refuse the offer to join this hilarious show. Her role on the show grew fast and she now sits a producer, contributor and moderator. The show and the process of creating this show daily was so interesting that when Jeff brought up the idea of doing Uncensored Reality, Karan’s producing and creative wheels started turning. Long story short they recently shot 3-episodes and are in editing!
