Ashnikko is the stage name of Ashton Nicole Casey, an American singer, rapper, and songwriter from Oak Ridge, United States, born on February 19, 1996. Her music blends hip hop, electronic music, and electropop, with sharp hooks, theatrical visuals, and a punk attitude that helped define her rise in the late 2010s and early 2020s. She is signed to Parlophone.
She first reached wider attention with the viral single "Stupid" featuring Yung Baby Tate, which introduced many listeners to her fast-paced delivery and playful, confrontational style. From there, she built a catalog that mixes irreverent humor with themes of power, identity, sexuality, and emotional release, moving through the mixtape Demidevil and later her debut studio album Weedkiller. Those releases reinforced her taste for striking imagery, high-energy production, abrasive verses, melodic choruses, and theatrical storytelling, while collaborations and features, including work with Yung Baby Tate, fit naturally into her hybrid style.
