Ash Molloy Drops Sophomore Single, “I Knew” In Support Of Domestic Abuse Awareness Month
Armed with a resonant message and powerful delivery, newcomer Ash Molloy unveils her poignant sophomore single “I Knew,” released in solidarity with Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. Available today via Wax Records, the hard-hitting track sheds light on the delicate stories that are often left unspoken, and hidden behind closed doors. The candid, introspective release is accompanied by a moving music video, directed by multi-platinum artist and creative Alyssa Reid, who beautifully personifies the challenging emotional journey of breaking free. Â
“I Knew is a vulnerable song that speaks to negative self-talk and trusting your gut,” Molloy shares. “Releasing this music during Domestic Abuse Awareness Month was intentional – as I slowly unveiled parts of the song to friends and family, I found myself faced with multiple intimate stories of partner violence. It’s a song for them.“
In an effort to further amplify her support for Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, Ash Molloy has initiated a fundraising campaign in support of Iris Kirby House in her hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland. Iris Kirby House provides a safe haven for abused women from all walks of life, offering support and the opportunity to explore alternatives to living in an abusive relationship.

First off, care to introduce yourself to our readers?
Hi! My name is Ash, I’m not sure how to introduce myself so here are three facts about me that pretty much sum up who I am at the moment:
1. I can play the fiddle.
2. I just finished my degree in Neuroscience.
3. My hair has been literally every colour in the past 3 years (sometimes not by choice lol)
Tell us a bit about your most recent release.
My most recent release is a song called ‘I Knew.’ It’s my second single release and the most vulnerable song I’ve ever written. It’s about some people very close to me who opened up to me about intimate partner violence. Originally I wrote part of the song about my own internal struggles but after they chose to open up to me I pivoted and realized I needed to write it for them. Now, I realize it was a piece of art that was always meant for them.
Do you have any upcoming shows you’d like to tell us about?
Not at this very moment, but my Instagram is where you’ll find all my show dates if you’re looking in the future!Â
If given the chance, which Canadian artist would you love to work with in the future?
This might be out of left field since I don’t make country music but Shania Twain. She’s an unbelievable person, a trailblazer for country music and women. Not to mention an unbelievable talent.
What’s your goal for 2024?
I want to write an album without inhibition. The seasons have changed and so have I so I hope I can write with a different kind of honesty next year. Easier said than done.
