About Me



Kit Ashton - ’You You You’

Anti-celebrity, pro-noise, true-folk, nu-wave, ultra-blah, anti-smug-scenester, pro-melody, hi-fi, stray-dog, bad hair, usually over-dressed, over-excited, trans-genre, proud pop-fan, non-major, non-’new music’, supernatural, digital, fashion-killer, generally confused £50 bloke, thick-skinned/fat headed, multicoloured, sacrilegious exploded ego, post-post, sacred cow, uber-zuber zeit-shite, painfully aware of my own ridiculousness...

I write songs and sing them.

Currently self-funded, self-managed, DIY, unsigned, and free...

Looking for potential partners in distribution, marketing and publishing.

Gotta love Sentric though...

So I bought a flat and moved in, lacking the wherewithall, time, or sanity to organise things like internet access... hence sitting in a pub every now and then with a laptop and high notions of keepin...
