Ashoka

New York, New York

Ashoka is a first-generation American artist, songwriter, and creative director from Queens, NY - by way of Dominica - whose music bridges motivation, self-reflection, and style. Raised in Rockland County and now based in Los Angeles, Ashoka blends sharp lyricism with melodic storytelling, crafting songs that speak to ambition, self-belief, and personal evolution. A former 10 Summers signee discovered by DJ Mustard, Ashoka has since built a powerful independent presence through his collective Kingdom Is Yours, a movement centered on ownership, discipline, and authenticity. His recent project Dreamers Valley surpassed 2 million streams, followed by standout releases like “WEMBANYAMA (YNS)”, “PGA”, and “11:11 Freestyle”, each earning support from Billboard, Genius, Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, and Ones To Watch. A storyteller at his core, Ashoka writes across genres - from hip-hop and R&B to K-pop and sync briefs - and he also creatively directs every visual himself. With music rooted in perseverance, mental health, and showing up as your best self, Ashoka’s message is simple but powerful: The Kingdom Is Yours.
