Gaining viral fame in 2019 with her surprise single ‘Stupid’ featuring Yung Baby Tate, Ashnikko quickly became a universal superstar and has garnered over 3.9 billion global streams and more than 700 million video views.
Dropping the mixtape Demidevil in 2021, which featured the singles ‘Daisy’ and ‘Slumber Party’, Asknikko released her debut studio album, Weedkiller, in 2023.
The album received stellar reviews, with Melomaniacs calling Weedkiller, “Stimulating, refreshingly direct, and cheeky: In a way, her shows feel like self-care.”

After Aussie fans got a taste of what to expect from Ashnikko when she opened for Billie Eilish earlier this year, her upcoming 2026 tour is sure to sell out fast with fans wanting to experience Ashnikko’s breathtaking live performance.
