West London born and bred, Ash King has been singing from a young age, with music running in his family and his father a close relative of Indian music legend Kishore Kumar. Ash’s father was a classical vocal coach and along with Kishore Kumar, taught some of the world’s finest Indian singers. Naturally Ash has inherited a musical talent and he is now becoming one of the UK’s most gifted artists, with the ability to sing in several languages and record almost any genre of music. Previous songs include “Dil Gira Dafatan”, recorded in 2009 with Oscar winning music maestro AR Rahman for the film “Dehli 6″, “Suno Aisha”, produced by accliamed director Amit Trivedi for the movie “Aisha” and “Love Is Blind”, an English/Hindi/Arabic ballad which has generated over 3 million YouTube hits.
“I Love You” has a combined total of over 1.5 million hits on YouTube in just a few weeks and has been regularly positioned in the Top 10 on the iTunes World Music chart in the last 2 weeks, currently featuring in the Top 10 of the BBC Asian Network’s Official Download Chart. The track is being played heavily nationwide and has hit the number 1 spot on Sunrise Radio’s Network Chart Show, Bollywood Top 20 and Buzz Asia’s Top 20 Chart, proving to be a big hit amongst the UK audience. A similar response in India, where the song has been warmly accepted by fans and critics, shows Ash’s growing emergence as one of the most talented singers to grace Bollywood.
Ash King will be performing “I Love You” and other hits with a full live band at the London Mela this Sunday, 4th September.
