Asha Imuno is a 20-year old rapper, producer, and singer from Moreno Valley, CA. At a young age, the self-produced artist seems to have already lived multiple musical lives. He picked up trombone and piano as a child, later joining jazz and marching bands, whilst learning digital composition. His musical style is influenced as much by the nostalgic soulfulness of Ronald Isley and Earth Wind & Fire as it is shaped by modern rapper-vocalists like Smino and Saba.
