Born to Iranian immigrants in Northern California’s diverse East Bay, Ashkon is truly a multi-dimensional artist. A rapper, singer/songwriter and actor, his talent and appeal extend beyond those of your traditional performer. In 2006 Ashkon jumped onto the Bay Area hip-hop scene with his epic debut record The Final Breakthrough. In 2008, Ashkon generated a great deal of buzz with his hilarious, yet helplessly infectious track, “Hot Tubbin’ (On the Late Night).” The video for the song became a viral sensation on YouTube, receiving more than 500,000 plays to date, thrusting Ashkon onto the cusp of the mainstream music world. Ashkon had another huge Internet hit in 2010 when his Giants-related Don’t Stop Believing YouTube video became the official playoff anthem of the San Francisco Giants and to date has over 2,300,000 million views and has led to Ashkon being more involved with the Giants organization, including The Authentic Fan.
