In 2005, she released her debut album titled Lemon Love. The name Lemon Love is due to the fact that every car she has owned turned out to break down, or in other words, turned out to be a "lemon"; she spent more on repairing them than they were actually worth. The album Lemon Love reached number #36 on the Top Heatseeker charts and it's single Be the Girl reached #26.
In January 2008, Aslyn released an EP entitled The Grand Garden EP. The EP features 28 songs, most of which were recorded between Lemon Love and Wherever the Dandelion Falls. It is divided up into 4 parts, each one having 7 different songs.
In January 2009, Aslyn's second full length album, The Dandelion Sessions was released under Lemonade Records. The 13 song collection includes some old fan favorites that have been played at live concerts for a couple of years now, such as "Your Best Thing", "The Way It Goes", and "Making Her Right". Another fan favorite recorded with Zac Brown, "Trying to Drive" was also included on the album. She is now managed by J.Romo Music Management.

Aslyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need something from me
And I could bet it's affirmation that you're seeking
'Cuz my million thank you's sound like silence in response
To all you give
When you don't get those 3 words from me
So forgive me if I sing nervous
So I won't lose before I learn
That you, too, need to know you've heard it
So here's to believe
That I'm feeling love for you
Here's to believe
My heart is on your side
Here's to believe
This song says everything I couldn't find
While looking for a melody to come alive
So come alive
Listen close and look as I stumble deeper and you will see
'Cuz you can hear under my breath when I hardly breathe
More than butterflies
I'm feeling hot like bricks on me
And simple words are so so far from coming to me
So I'm making my own measure
la di da da-attempt to sink your feather
With a promise you'll feel better
If you read this song like a love letter
So here's to believe
That I'm feeling love for you
Here's to believe
My heart is on your side
Here's to believe
So here's everything I couldn't find
While looking for a melody to come alive
So come alive
la la la la la la la la
So here's to believe
That I'm feeling love for you
Here's to believe
My heart is on your side
Here's to believe
This song says everything I couldn't find
While looking for a melody to come alive
I'm feeling love for you
And here's to believe
My heart is on your side
Here's to believe
This song says everything I couldn't find
While looking for a melody to come alive
So come alive
Aslyn's song "Here" is a beautiful and emotional piece that explores the complexities of love, affirmation, and expression. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes words fail us when we try to convey the depth of our feelings for someone, and that music can sometimes articulate what we struggle to put into words.
The lyrics talk about the singer's recognition that someone they care about is seeking affirmation, but that their thank-yous and other gestures of love seem to fall short. The singer acknowledges their own difficulty expressing their love, but resolves to be more assertive in communicating it. They reveal that they're feeling overwhelmed by their emotions and that simple words are failing them. Instead, they use music as a medium to express what they can't quite find the words for.
Aslyn's voice is tender and vulnerable, making the song all the more poignant. The lyrics are beautifully written, capturing the nuances of love and the difficulty that sometimes arises in articulating it. The song builds to a crescendo with the repetition of the refrain "Here's to believe," creating a sense of catharsis and resolve.
