Ashnikko made a huge introduction with her debut EP 'Sass Pancakes'.
Featuring Avelino as well as production from Raf Riley, the EP earned tips from i-D, Notion, Complex and GRM Daily as well as airplay from MistaJam at 1xXtra.
Ashnikko's back story goes something like this: One moment you're a regular teenager living in North Carolin and the nets thing you know, your family uproot 7500 kilometres aest - first o Estonia and then to Latvia. Living in Riga, she stuck out like a sore thumb. Her parents gave her no other option other than to enrol in a public Latvian high school.
She was the only American girl in the entire country to attend a Latvian public school, with her lessons taught entirely in Latvian.
Her escape was to spend her weekends flying to London to pursue a music career. She eventually establiched a new home-from-home within the OddChild community where she's spent the last four years focused on developing her music.
