Ashley Alexandra Dupre earns $200,000 in music downloads

March 16 2008

Ashley Alexandra Dupr?eAshley Alexandra Dupre, the prostitute that brought-down one of America's most powerful men, Eliot Spitzer earlier this week, has reportedly earned a whopping $200,000 from online music downloads.

Dupre - who charged the disgraced New York Governor more than $4,000-a-month for her services - made two of her tunes, "What We Want" and "Move Ya Body," available for purchase as 99-cent downloads on music website Amie Street shortly after the scandal broke earlier this week. Artists make 70% of sales, said the site's co-founder Joshua Boltuch.

"What We Want" was also played on national radio station Z100 Thursday.

"It's not a bad song," said Tom Poleman, senior vice president for programming at the station. "Looks like she may have a new career, this time in music."

Director/music producer Jonathan Ehlers helped Dupre? cut her first demo in 2004.

"She was great to work with," he said, adding she could make it in the music business if "she were to continue to perfect her craft. She definitely has the drive for it and the personality."
