TERRITORIES: NORTH & SOUTH AMERICA
Ian Asher is one of the fastest growing DJs and electronic acts in the world right now, but it all began in a warehouse
in Orange County. When TikTok began, Ian was the first DJ/ producer to put up big numbers on the platform doing
mashups. Now, six years and countless viral moments later, he has had 5 Spotify Top 50 records and in the past 9
months a relentless output of original edits, remixes, and mashups with over 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify,
and 1,500,000 streams per day. “My sound is exaggerated, pitched-up, and in-your-face. If I listen to the first two
seconds of a tune and it doesn’t sound huge, I throw it out. It needs to be a brand-new experience, so I’ll add in more
speed, stutter sounds, and ear candy,” said Asher.
Growing up in Southern, CA, Ian Asher’s interest in music began at 10 years old, when he discovered Avicii,
Skrillex and Calvin Harris on YouTube …but after a family trip to Las Vegas he saw the faces of his favorite artists
on the billboards and asked his parents for a DJ controller as a Christmas present. Rather than obsess over video
games, he spent all of his time learning the ins and outs of Logic. At 13-years-old, he landed his first “residency” as
a DJ at the local trampoline park, not knowing that he’d go on to have a residency at Zouk in Vegas. At the same
time, he uploaded tracks to Soundcloud, played high school parties, and upped his game as a producer.
During senior year, he caught the attention of Swedish producer Peter Swartling who invited him to Sweden for
sessions. Using money saved from his work as a DJ, he flew to the UK where a planned two-week trip turned into
three months. While there, he produced “B[OO]M-BOXX” for ITZY’s blockbuster debut LP Crazy in Love—which
bowed in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 and at #1 on the Top Independent Albums Chart. Upon returning to the
States, he enrolled at the University of California Irvine, and began to embrace TikTok, often posting up to five
times per day during Covid. He reinvented Labrinth’s Euphoria staple “Still Don’t Know My Name” garnering
billions of plays.
Shortly thereafter he signed with top managers Milk & Honey Music + Sports and agents Spin Artist Agency who
would guide and help bring his recording and touring career to a different level. Ian quickly hit the road doing 100+
dates per year and building a real touring business. He knew that the live experience was going to be a major part of
his artistry and not just making records at home. Meanwhile, his remix of “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell
exploded as the platform’s 2021 “Most-Used Halloween Sound,” before his 2023 Official Remix of Jain’s
“Makeba” that eclipsed 144 million Spotify streams and ushered him into the spotlight. “I refer to Ian as the biggest
DJ in the world that people don’t yet know because his per day average streams eclipse Fisher, Dom Dolla, May P,
Chris Lake, and John Summit who are some of the biggest DJ’s in the space. He has amassed 425 million
cumulative streams in a short period of time” commented Milk & Honey prexy Lucas Keller. “You knew something
was happening early on when some of the biggest celebrities in the world would post a current song, but they’d post
Ian’s mash up version – his music is widely traveled online, and the deeper you get into it, you see how staggering
the numbers are.”
Today, 1 in 4 songs that Ian posts online achieve virality. His single “Desire” was #8 on the Billboard Dance Charts
and received over 90 million streams in six months. His single “Black Out Days” also reached #8 on the dance
charts and generated over 100 million streams. Ian also had the most viral DJ video in the world in Q4 of 2025
alongside over 900,000 unique User Generated Videos created using Ian’s music. On the touring side, Ian has
quickly become a headliner to watch in the U.S, recently selling out iconic venues such as New York’s Brooklyn
Paramount and San Francisco’s The Midway within days of on sale, and up next, the Palladium in Los Angeles this
August. Beyond his rapidly growing headline business, Ian has become one of the hottest new artists to book in the
festival circuit with upcoming appearances slated at major festivals including Tomorrowland, Ushuaia, Parookaville,
EDC Mexico and Orlando, Escape, and many more throughout 2026 and into 2027. The electronic music genre has
a knack for building international stars, only some that come from America. With the mounting numbers online and
on the road, it’s clear that Ian Asher is next up from the US.
