Beijing-raised, NYC-based artist Ash Zixuan is a singer-songwriter-producer who makes moody, atmospheric alternative R&B characterized by rich vocals, delicate lyricism, and crafted production. Following the success of her first two singles "Infatuated" and "Reverse Psychology", she released her debut, self-produced EP Holding Water in October 2024—a powerful exploration of emotional release, transience, and self-reflection. Blending genres like R&B, rock, electronic, and neo-soul, the EP's demo caught the attention of Grammy-award-winning mixing engineer Jeff Ellis (Frank Ocean, Doja Cat) who marked the artist's first major industry collaboration and helped bring to life the emotional potency of her writing and production.

The project garnered shining coverage from several notable publications, including Earmilk, Clash, i-D China, Modern Weekly, and Atwood Magazine, cementing her as a rising global artist to be reckoned with. With her debut project receiving such a welcoming response after four years in the making, Ash Zixuan is positioned to embark on a career fueled by her multifaceted talent, distinct artistic vision, and limitless potential.
