Although ASTN isn't exactly new to music, his soulful R&B was reintroduced on a global scale in 2021, with the release of an EP and some help from his viral take on Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever."

After releasing his EP in early 2021, titled IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS, ASTN has seen some serious growth – going from roughly 400,000 monthly listeners to almost 3 million, along with 60,000+ new Instagram followers, and even more fans. With that being said, we are happy see the world is catching up to what our community already saw. Congrats, ASTN! – Perry Avgerinos
