Early foundation
Making up songs around six and writing by nine turned a childhood instinct into a lifelong practice.
Artist 13 / Delta Squad
South Florida roots. Instinct-led writing. Music as art, therapy, and a way to connect.

Instinct, emotion, connection
Ashkenazi is a South Florida artist born in Hollywood and raised throughout Broward County and Miami. His connection to music began early, making up songs around six years old and writing by nine. He creates because he genuinely loves it, but music also serves as therapy—a way to process pain, anger, and perspective while turning those emotions into something others can connect with. His sound is for everyone, especially listeners who still view music as an art form.
Every artist Ashkenazi has spent real time listening to has contributed to his growth, with Eminem, Royce da 5'9", Joe Budden, Ransom, Grafh, Jon Connor, and Aesop Rock standing apart as major influences. Still, his primary focus is mastering being himself. He explores different styles of production and writes to the beats that pull genuine emotion from him, never deciding what a song must become before the words arrive. Through Delta Squad, Ashkenazi is surrounded by artists who share his appreciation for the art of music, allowing each record to carry whatever message reveals itself through the writing.
The creative process
Ashkenazi lets the production start the conversation, then follows the feeling until the record reveals its own message.
Making up songs around six and writing by nine turned a childhood instinct into a lifelong practice.
Pain, anger, and perspective become records that give difficult emotions somewhere productive to go.
Different styles stay open until a beat pulls out the feeling and the writing reveals what the song needs to be.
The goal is music for everyone—especially listeners who still treat the form as something worth studying and feeling.
Growth without imitation
