About Stalk Ashley
Stalk Ashley is a Jamaican singer and songwriter whose “Dancehall&B” — sultry R&B steeped in dancehall and reggae — has made her one of the most distinctive voices of her generation. Raised in a strict religious household where music meant church choir (she first performed at age three), she moved to Kingston at nineteen and found the creative freedom that became her sound.
Quick facts
The Breakout
In 2018 her freestyle for Jada Kingdom’s viral “Banana challenge” was reposted by Jada Kingdom herself and passed 100,000 views — leading directly to the duet “Wasteman” and, months later, her debut solo single “Sin Sex”. Her 2019 single “Young”, with its runaway-bride video, was covered by Rolling Stone and remains her signature record.
The Co-Signs
Stormzy recruited her for his BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” (2019). BBC 1Xtra named her to Hot For 2021. Dazed put her on the Dazed 100. The FADER premiered “Incognito” with Alkaline. Audiomack and DJBooth called her the artist “reimagining R&B from Jamaica”.
The Journey
After an Atlantic Records UK chapter that produced the Excuses, Pt. I EP (2021) and a Mixpak single (“Top Body”, 2023, produced by P2J and Dre Skull), she bet on herself: her debut album Stalky the Bratt arrived independently in August 2024 with features from Sean Paul, Skillibeng, Valiant, Skeng, Kraff Gad and Armanii. “Really Like U” with Skillibeng earned a 2025 Caribbean Music Awards nomination for Dancehall Collaboration of the Year.
Beyond the Music
She is a Pepsi Jamaica brand ambassador (since April 2024) and founder of the Gel-X press-on nail brand Tipped by Stalk Ashley — extending the bratt aesthetic from the stage to the everyday.
