Title: “Action” feat. Alex Price
Label: Kyngdom Records
Release date: November 25, 2022
Canadian artist Ashton Adams is back in full force with his new track “Action” with American DJ/producer Ryan Respinto and vocalist Alex Price, hailing from Canada. Opening with soulful vocals layered over a groovy bassline, Adams and Respinto seamlessly build into a bouncy and house-forward drop. The elements of garage and bass give the track a unique touch that crosses genre boundaries, making it feel at home, whether on the radio or in the club. “Action” is out on Adams’s own label Kyngdom Records; he also debuted earlier this year on Ultra Records and recently co-wrote and co-produced “Aces” for Connor Price and Idris Elba. Read on for the full story behind the track from Ashton himself, and keep an eye out for more new music from all three talented artists.
“My TikTok and Instagram this year has been doing pretty well with a few viral videos, and I have been able to build an awesome fan base and connect with house music lovers across the world, including some awesome producers. I connected with Ryan over TikTok, and we began sending ideas back and forth, and we came up with ‘Action’. We knew this one was special, and we took the time to really refine it to make sure that the listener is taken on a journey from beginning to end. ‘Action’ is one of my favorite tracks that I have worked on this year. The vocals and the way the track moves is special, and I believe every dance music fan that listens to it will love it.” – Ashton Adams

Tell me about your new single hit “Action” with Ryan Respinto featuring Alex Price.
“Action” was a really fun record to make as we combined rnb vocals from Alex Price with a nasty bass house drop. Our goal was to create a bass house track that was different and not “cliché”. We definitely feel we accomplished that.
You founded Kyngdom Records. Tell me more about the label and some of the names on the roster.
Kyngdom Records is a collective of artists over many different genres such as dance, hip-hop, RnB, pop, etc. Some artists I work with include Matt Wilk, 100M’s, Kalan, Alex Price and more.
You are based in Canada. I haven’t spent much time up there, though. What are some of the best cities to see a show and what are some of the best clubs in the Great White North?
I love Canada and living here is absolutely amazing. Some of the best clubs I will have to say in Toronto are REBEL and Ultraviolet. In Waterloo I would have to say The Drink Uptown and Erb And Culture!
I’m digging your logo. I could see that on a shirt… A hat. Heck, throw it on a hoodie! What sort of merchandise are you selling?
Thank you! I will be dropping a new merch line in January of 2023 so definitely stay tuned for that!
What headphones are around your neck? I use Bose, but always wonder what y’all are using up there on stage!
I use OneOdio Pro-50 Studio series headphones. I have always used these as they are super affordable and have very good quality. I also like how stylish they are.
You spent time on the road earlier this year. Are you planning a tour in the New Year?
I have only done a couple shows as I have been focusing on getting my album done but I am planning on doing a bunch of shows in the New Year!
You’ve co-produced with several big names including Connor Price and Idris Elba. Are you out there looking to work with these guys or do they come to you for support?
I have been working with 4KORNERS who is also my partner in my band 401 WST and he did a record with Connor and they were looking for a follow up so we got in the studio and co-produced this one for them and the guys ended up loving the beat.
You are sharing some great content on Instagram. Man, you are living your best life! Not really a question, just giving you props for making my day!
I appreciate the love!!
What’s next for Ashton Adams?
What’s next for me is finishing up my album which I promise is going to be full of BAANGERS! I am planning on touring the world next year and just truly want to make a positive impact on the world!
Thank you for doing this, man. I enjoyed that. In all of the interviews I do, I always give the artist the last word. Go.
Thank you so much for having me! I hope to continue providing these baangers for the world and stay tuned for my upcoming album dropping in 2023!
