With a little bit of rock, a hell of a lot of soul, and a throwback R&B groove, MCA Nashville’s Kassi Ashton is set to take the music world by storm.
“Kassi Ashton is in line for Nashville domination, and she’ll do it her way – unapologetically,” proclaims PEOPLE Magazine. Kassi brings a whole new attitude to country music. The California, Missouri singer/songwriter touched down with a string of critically acclaimed tracks released by UMG Nashville in conjunction with Interscope Records. Her introductory release “California, Missouri” stirred widespread critical acclaim from Taste of Country, CMT, The Boot, and many more. Named “Who to Watch” by Huffington Post, The Tennessean, and radio personality Bobby Bones. Rolling Stone lauds her as “a devilish songwriter who isn’t afraid to flip convention on its head,” while Refinery29 claims, “she blends pop aesthetics with a presence doused in no-fucks-left-to-give authenticity.” PAPER Magazine calls her “the next big country superstar,” and American Songwriter notes, “Ashton brings powerful storytelling and a sense of poetry in every release.”
Kassi defies convention and defines her signature style with confessional, catchy storytelling and dynamic delivery on songs including her latest, “I Don’t Go Back,” and critically acclaimed releases “Dates In Pickup Trucks,” “Heavyweight,” “California, Missouri,” “Hopeless,” “Violins,” and more.
This year, Kassi continues to disrupt the country scene with her long-awaited debut album, Made From The Dirt, released September 20th to praise from People, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and more. The album dishes hard-won lessons rooted in tangled family ties, relationship tussles, and wrenching grief, wrapped up in hook-heavy, country-tinged singalongs, where Kassi's husky, soulful tones will stop you dead in your tracks.
