Ashnikko: "I find it really hard to stick to one thing because I'm so fickle and I like to change my mind a lot."

Ashnikko: "I've grown into a woman and formed my own opinions about the world around me."

Ashnikko: "Everyone needs an escape, whether that is through music or humor. My personal escape is through both of those things so I thought why not combine them? But not in a cringe way, I don't want to make parody songs. I just want my music to have a humorous edge to it."

Ashnikko: "The greatest moment was definitely walking onto my stage production rehearsal set and seeing my giant eyeball tentacles in real life for the first time. To have the ability to take the strange little creatures in my head and make them a reality is the dream. I’m sure I have lots of fails. Too many to count!"

Ashnikko: "I have a really bad memory, I like, have blocked out so much of my life, I think."

Ashnikko: "I feel like as a teenager making music, I had a lot of internalised misogyny, a need to be one of the boys, and a lot of self-hatred. As I discovered what feminism is and what it meant to me, it definitely took a hold of my life in a big way."

Ashnikko: "I've been kind of embracing my own power and really getting in touch with my inner goddess."

Ashnikko: "There’s so much room to carve out your own path, which I find super liberating. Just because someone else did one thing to get where they are doesn’t mean I have to. I can set my own terms."

Ashnikko: "I was very much a child of Tumblr. I did a lot of my personal education into what intersectional feminism is on Tumblr. The Internet is a great tool for children who are raised in very narrow-minded towns."

Ashnikko: "I want people to feel confident when listening to my music."

Ashnikko: "Being able to pay my bills doing something that I love so intensely is always gonna be my greatest triumph. That was the goal when I started out, and I’m just happy to be able to do this for a job."

Ashnikko: "I love Evanescence. I think it's quite comforting to really make nostalgic early 2000s inspired music for me, personally. I think it just reminds me of being a kid again. And that was a nice time."

Ashnikko: "It makes me sad; I had to stop seeing my fans. It is like mental self harm to go and read my DMs."

Ashnikko: "It's interesting, I'm from a really conservative, suburban town, and a majority of my family are very patriarchal. I mean, I love my family members, but they're slightly misogynistic, very closed-minded. But I'm sure a lot of us have families like that."

Ashnikko: "My touring crew are absolutely incredible. It was so good to be back out on the road. Actually meeting the people who listen to my music in the flesh was the highlight. Doing full choreo to my Halloween songs was super divalicious as well."

Ashnikko: "Growing up, all I learned was how best to diminish my own light for a partner."

Ashnikko: "I used to get in trouble a lot in school because I would write very naughty stories and poems in class."

Ashnikko: "I'm so jealous of my friends who came from these super musical households where they were learning piano at three years old. My parents didn't really play loads of music around the house. We had the radio, but they weren't teaching me about music."
