Summary
Kassi Ashton is the kind of artist who lights Up Every Room Like It’s Soaked in Kerosene
Before most people knew her name, Kassi was offered 11 record deals, proof of the undeniable talent and star power she’s always had. In this episode, she shares how the music industry has both broken her heart and blessed her with a beautiful life and career.
We talk about her love of fashion and how every look is part of her storytelling. For Kassi, style is not separate from the music. It is an extension of who she is.
She also opens up about meeting her husband, the one person who was able to break through her walls. Their love story feels like pure soulmate material, and in true Kassi fashion, she even made her own wedding dress.
We dive into her powerful new song, Bitches, an empowering anthem inspired by the strong women who raised her and a reminder not to take any nonsense from anybody.
