Ashten Ray is a pop singer from White Hall, Illinois, a small town about an hour north of Saint Louis. Ashten grew up around music and continued to pursue music in highschool, joining the choir and writing songs for other artists in his school.
After high school Ashten moved to Warrensburg, MO to attend the University of Central Missouri. Two years into school Ashten lost his best friend to suicide, which inspired his first hit song “Sober”. A song about wanting to better yourself, but also a reminder that we’re not alone.

Shortly after, Ashten released his second song “Alone” which caught the attention of several music executives and other artists.
A chance encounter with Tech N9ne at a restaurant in Kansas City lead to Ashten being featured on Tech N9ne’s album “ASIN9NE” and collaboration with T-Pain. Ashten’s music has garnered millions of streams across digital streaming platforms and has been recognized and praised by Clinton Sparks, London on da Track, and more! Ashten is only three years into his music career, but he has already charted on Billboard and Itunes. In another three years Ashten Ray will be a household name.
