Ashnikko Is Alive

ORIGIN
Ashnikko is a London-based rapper out of North Carolina, United States. Though she demonstrates exceptional versatility, her music primarily revolves around the hip-hop genre. Some of her most accomplished songs include “STUPID” ft Yung Baby Tate, “Hi, It’s Me,” “Special,” and “Invitation” ft Kodie Shane. As of current, Ashnikko has unveiled a total of 3 EPs with the latest, “Hi, It’s Me,” landing on November 1, 2019. Most of her singles and projects are released below Warner Music Group (on behalf of PLG UK Frontline), an indicator that she might be signed.

Real name Ashton Casey, she was born on February 19, 1996, in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, United States. At a young, she migrated with her family to Estonia, then later on, to Latvia. Being a minority, Ashnikko’s school years in Latvia proved daunting and often left her feeling isolated. She began frequenting London and started exploring various music opportunities. Music became her safe-haven; a place where she escapes from all the “bullshit.” From an early age, Ashnikko expressed an interest in the art of music. At the age of 15, she began writing songs. Throughout grade school, she did musical theater, performed at talent shows, and tried just about anything that garners spotlight attention.

CAREER
At age 18, Ashnikko officially moved to London. She made a connection with Oddchild, an independent management company, and released her debut single “Sass Pancakes” in May of 2017. “Sass Pancake” was also the name of her first EP and the leading track behind the project. The project, which landed on March 17, 2017, featured 4 tracks with a guest appearance from Avelino. It was released under Warner Music Group.

On November 23, 2018, Ashnikko unveiled her 2nd EP, “Unlikeable.” The 4-track effort featured solo artist, Kodie Shane and was anchored by the singles “No Brainer” and “Invitation.” In the next few months, both tracks would be streamed over 4 million times, collectively. Before her project aired, Ashnikko collaborated with Jaded on the single “Pancake,” a track that performed exceptionally well paving the way for her EP. Approaching its 2nd anniversary, the track has been streamed over 4 million times. Other noteworthy tracks that ignited an uproar in 2018 include “Blow” and “Halloweenie.” Both received warm ovations.

After finding her identity in 2018, Ashnikko charged into 2019 at full speed. That July, she released one of her most renowned EPs yet, “Hi, It’s Me.” It’s also the name given to the first single on the EP. The project was spearheaded by her hottest single, to date, “STUPID” ft Yung Baby Tate. Within 4 months, the single track garnered over 20 million streams and was listed as her most popular on Spotify. On October 22, the accompanying music video was uploaded to YouTube and within 1 week, it witnessed 5 million-plus streams on the platform.

Other tracks that are currently dominating the airwaves include “Hi, It’s Me,” “Special,” and “Halloweenie II.” Aside from recording, Ashnikko is currently touring throughout the United States with upcoming concerts in Denver, Colorado, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
