Before They Were Famous

Before Ashnikko would go viral with her track STUPID and would climb to No. 1 on both Spotify’s Viral 50 and Genius' Top Songs charts. Before Ashnikko would blow up on Tik Tok inspiring creators to make 100's of thousands of Tik Toks resulting in millions and millions of streams including one from Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson. Before Ashnikko would clock in 150K on Instagram, over 200K on YouTube and a modest 20K on Twitter, and under 10K on Soundcloud and sign to Warner Music Group. The world of Tik Tok has put in its work to raise up a new star from the depths of obscurity to mainstream success. Pretty crazy to see the power of Tik Tok bringing us some of the biggest stars of 2019. Prior to her big blow-up, Ashnikko has been putting in the work and live a rather strange life. She moved from small-town America to Estonia, then Latvia, and would travel to London on the weekends getting involved in open mic nights. She found her gift for writing lyrics after getting expelled over a dirty poem about one of the teachers. At 18 she made the move to London all on her own and after much trial and error, she found her own niche with feminist tunes, an anime-influenced appeal some raunchy rap lyrics, and industrial beats. While researching this video I also noticed that a bunch of people online thought they recognized her from back in the day on the Disney show Sonny With A Chance.
