Singer / songwriter and creator Ashnikko‘s R-rated brand of horror tinged rap punk-power pop has exploded via Tik Tok. Her single Stupid inspired over 400 thousand fan vids and soared to 80 million streams plus on Spotify alone, making the track go Gold. Then there was her official video for the song that depicted the singer covered in blood, armed with a mallet, going door to door bludgeoning boys. Her new single Daisy is about a murderous avenger who leaves “daisies on your night stand” as a calling card. She has also been quietly developing a separate cinematic universe of gross-out, bizarro, stream of conscience sketch shows called Ash Wednesdays on YouTube.
Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast hung out with her for Episode 175.
“I just think blood is pretty!, I love how blood looks, I love my human body. I think I love my disgusting human body. S*(&#ing and farting is hilarious to me and so is blood. When I started my period I was like, this is so metal!”
Behind the lens of horror and this collision of cake and gore, she freely admits, is a history of crippling anxiety and night terrors.
“Full night terrors where I’ll see a man standing on the bed just being like…hmm…Hey.” When it comes to using genre viscera in her visuals and lyrics she explains, “I like to be the dominatrix. I like to be the dominant one in the situation. That’s what I do with my own music videos and my own aesthetic. I inflict the horror.”
In addition, for the past three years, she’s made it a tradition of releasing a new song and video on Halloween that quickly become seasonal viral tricks and treats.
“Me and one of my friends Oscar, yeah we’re best pals and we were in the studio and I don’t know how, we just wrote this really dumb Halloween song about eating butt and we just thought it was hilarious. It became Halloweenie. Then everyone was like, please more Halloween songs, so we did Halloweenie II: Pumpkin Spice, which is about f*&^ing a pumpkin and pumpkin spice p*&^y..”.
As for what’s in store for Halloweenie III –
“(I) don’t got any eyes..what else…I bathe in menstrual blood, which is my dream. I’m always covered in blood. It’s a very toned down shoot when I’m not covered in blood.”
