Aspen enrolled at Chapman University to study musical therapy, dropping out at the third year due to many job offers.[1][2]

As a voice actress, she played the role of Dodie Bishop in Nickelodeon's Emmy-nominated As Told by Ginger, Alice in the Rugrats episode "Hurricane Alice", Amanda Payne in the pilot for Constant Payne,[3] and did the voices of three different characters in the PC game EverQuest II.

Aspen spent 2004-2005 in Las Vegas, performing nightly at the Paris Las Vegas as the female lead "Scaramouche" in the rock musical We Will Rock You,[5] where she met guitarist Paul Crook, who would recommend her for Meat Loaf's Neverland Express after Patti Russo left the band. Following auditions, Aspen would tour with Meat Loaf as his duet partner and backup vocalist on the Seize the Night tour, through 2006 and 2007.[1][6]

Aspen also toured with the cast of Dirty Dancing in America with her husband Tony, and would later be a swing in the Broadway production of American Idiot, a show featuring songs of the popular band Green Day.
