Ashnikko « Smoochies Tour »

Ashnikko brings the Smoochies Tour to History, 1663 Queen Street East, Toronto, on May 19, 2026. Raised between North Carolina, the Baltics and London, the rapper-singer Ashton Nicole Casey has shaped a sound that shifts between pop-rap, alternative hip-hop and electronic pop with a punk streak. Early tracks posted online led to the EPs Sass Pancakes (2017) and Unlikeable (2018), then the mixtape Hi, It’s Me (2019), where the single STUPID with Yung Baby Tate spread widely on social platforms. The debut album Demidevil (2021) tightened that hybrid approach with features from Grimes (Cry) and Princess Nokia (Slumber Party). In 2023, WEEDKILLER pushed further into a cyber-fantasy universe, mixing industrial textures, big choruses and a live energy close to rock.

On stage, expect a set that connects these chapters: sharp flows, direct hooks and lyrics that address gender, power and messy relationships without detours. From the abrasive edge of WEEDKILLER to the sing-along pull of Demidevil, Ashnikko moves at the crossroads of rap, hyperpop and guitar-leaning intensity, for a show that balances noise, melody and a strong visual world.
