Not many rappers grow up on a farm. But Norway’s biggest breaking talent, 21-year-old Ash Olsen, isn’t your average rapper. Spinning hypnotic rhymes inspired by her life in rural Norway with the bravado of an American street rapper, she’s ready to graduate from her bedroom to the big stage.
She’s already hotly tipped at home – she’s a mainstay on national radio, played two packed shows at by: Larm, and will perform at P3 Gull (Norway’s equivalent to the BRITs) tomorrow. Now Ash Olsen is set to reach wider international attention as she today releases her debut EP ‘ASHY’ which features her brand new single ‘DAT THING LIKE ME’.
‘DAT THING LIKE ME’ is a striking introduction to Ash Olsen’s talents. Set to an instantly addictive beat with viral potential, her versatile lyricism shows a command of hip-hop slang that’s remarkable for someone whose second language is English. What’s more, her vocal is versatile, mixing confident melodic high notes with barely enunciated bars.

After learning the art of a razor-sharp rhyme and picking up a distinct American accent, she realised she would have to be fluent in English to have any chance of making it as a rapper. Only knowing the basics, she dedicated endless hours alone in her room to master the language.
Initially also inspired by Biggie Smalls, Ash subsequently discovered XXXTENTACION and Ju
She released her debut track ‘KITKAT’ in 2020, which has since exceeded a million streams, and added to her growing reputation with another four tracks this year, most recently ‘VIBE KILLER’. Although she has been offered deals by record companies all over the world, she instead decided to stay independent. The ‘ASHY’ EP is out via her own EZ Money label, with distribution from The Orchard. Ash Olsen is from Fredrikstad, an hour’s drive south from Oslo.
