WHAT IT IS: Ian Asher is making waves as one of the biggest unsigned DJs on TikTok. With explosive social media and soon-to-be released songs in collaboration with top writers/producers, the Orange County native is gearing up to hit the road for a year in support of his next few releases. Boasting a sound that recalls artists like Joel Corry, Surf Mesa and heavyweight Calvin Harris, among others, Asher puts his own twist on U.K. house with mashups like “One Kiss x I Was Never There” (Dua Lipa and The Weeknd x Gesaffelstein), “Still Don’t Know My Name” (Labrinth), “Alors on Danse x Hotel Room” (Stromae and Pitbull) and more. The rising star’s sounds on TikTok are among the most widely shared across the platform, with artists like Tiesto, David Guetta, Lizzo, Addison Rae, Jason Derulo and more.
