Yep, us.
Ash Johansen is a character and pseudonym birthed from the mind of veteran Texas artist, producer, musician, and singer, Jason M. Ashley. After a multi-year attempt to find a versatile pop vocalist for an ambitious project, Jason gave up and the project was lost. Then AI music happened.
Taking the hours and hours of incomplete demos and songs, Jason was able to turn his music and own voice into Ash Johansen. Fierce, fun, and fucked up. The music is unmistakably Jason, but Ash adds that perfect edge: sweet and pleasing, but raw and unforgiving.
Ash's latest full-length album is a journey through depression, grief, and the pain of living.
Blisteringly angry, disgustingly positive, and thoroughly brutal. Ash leans into "her" hardcore roots.
Three songs of fury and fear. Ash's most ferocious release so far, and surely not her last.
A softer trip through lush shoegaze sounds and Ash's most melodic. Dreamy and surreal.
Ash's tribute to the music she grew up with: 90's alternative. Thick guitars and singalong hooks galore.
A deep exploration of the outside world from the perspective of an insider. The inside looking out.
