Andrew Ashong

Andrew Ashong. British-Ghanaian soul singer-songwriter, DJ and producer out of Forest Hill, South London, who was DJing and making his own productions by 16. His first release was 'Flowers' (2012) with Theo Parrish, on Parrish's Detroit label Sound Signature. A left-field club hit, and it was named Track of the Year at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards. 'Special' is the six-minute title track of a languid, jazz-tinged three-track EP he put out on Which Way Records in January 2014. He and his friend Alex Fairman did the artwork and sleeves themselves, from the design to the paper. In 2020 he made the Sankofa Season EP with Kaidi Tatham, born from a chance DJ set in Belfast.
