Ashlee Jordan Wallace, or “AJ” as her friends call her, was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas.
AJ always had a passion and obsession, as she describes it, for the fashion industry. She tells The Heat Magazine that she always kept clothing sketches and played in her mom’s makeup. She still puts her creations into her sketch pad.
AJ says that, by the time she reached seventh grade, she was determined to be a model. Even though she was not what the modeling industry considers “tallâ€, she was still determined to live out her dream.
AJ attended Excel Models & Talent of Little Rock. Through that experience, she worked the runway for the first time, modeled for Dillard’s and participate in her first photo shoot, before embarking upon her chosen career path.
