What is Ashley McBryde's net worth?

Ashley McBryde has been a Country musician since 2006 with her self-titled debut album released independently in January. But it took the singer 11 years to gradually find her place as she signed with Warner Music in Nashville in 2017 and released her debut album, 'Girl Going Nowhere', in the following year. This album also led to her first Grammy nomination for Best Country Album during the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.

The 37-year-old singer is known for producing genre-bending music and not surprisingly, her current net worth has shot up thanks to her breakthrough with 'Girl Going Nowhere'. In 2018, she reportedly had a net worth of approximately $750,000, which shot up to around $3M in 2019 and with the success of 'Never Kill', the present net worth of the singer is anything between $1M and $5M.  

Among the recent achievements, McBryde's song 'A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega' was named one of the 54 Best Songs of 2017 by The New York Times and one of the Top 25 Best Country Songs of 2017 by Rolling Stone. Later, her 2020 album 'Never Will' was nominated for Best Country Album at the Grammys and also got a place in Rolling Stone's list of the 50 best albums of 2020.

Speaking of the nominations at the ACM Awards 2021, the singer gushed, "I am honored to have been nominated alongside so many peers I respect and admire," and added, "I can't thank the Academy of Country Music enough for recognizing the incredible work not only my band... put into this record, but the songwriters and my team."

Her 'Martha Divine' performance

'Martha Divine', a track from McBryde's album 'Never Will', puts a modern twist on an old thrilling murder ballad saga where McBryde sings unleashing her fury: "I've got this feeling/ And I got this shovel/ Between me and you and it/ You're in a little trouble/ I saw you sneaking/ And I know what happened/ I think it's kinda funny you got caught/ Only, I ain't laughing." In the chorus she goes, "Martha Divine, Martha Divine/ You put your hands on the wrong damn man this time/ Jezebel, you're bound for Hell/ But evidently, the devil was busy so I moved you up in line, Martha Divine!"
