Ashutosh Kushwaha was born on 1st January 1993 in Ballia city of Uttar Pradesh. He belongs from a middle class family. He completed his primary education from Naga Ji Saraswati Shishu Mandir, Ballia. His middle education was from Naga Ji Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Maldepur, Ballia. He completed his Intermediate from Tagore Public School, Jaipur (Rajasthan). Currently he is doing graduation (With english and philosophy) from Satish Chandra College, Ballia. In his school days, he was a bright student of science. Mathematics was the most hated subject for him, but he was interested in Physics and Chemistry. In the age of 8 years only, he started singing and writing small songs and poems. He never took any training of music from anyone. He says that Music is in my soul and while singing and writing songs, I follow the orders of my soul. He kept on winning prizes in his school competitions for singing patriotic hindi songs and poems. Although his musical talent was gifted by nature, but the people of his place never recognized him. He shares an incident when he was totally disappointed with his music : "I was about 12 years old, when I was selected for an intercity singing competition. I was given a hindi patriotic song, i think it was "SHAAN TERI KABHI KAM NA HO", to sing in that competition. I did a hard preparation for that song and got selected for the competition. I was very happy that I was going to perform in a big event (for a kid of that age, it was really a great oppertunity). Competition started, contestants gave their performances, I also performed. But Ballia was a place where people prefer Bhojpuri artists and love them. Hindi artists were totally neglected. This effected me also, from starting, I disliked Bhojpuri because I don't find soulfulness in this language, so I always performed hindi songs. Today also, I am stuck with Hindi. After the competition was over, results were announced and it really shocked me. All the contestants who performed Bhojpuri songs were announced as winners and not a single hindi performer was declared winner. From that day, I always notice that people of my place are just to demoralize me, they always ran after the Bhojpuri artists, but then also, I never thought to move my way towards Bhojpuri." His family background was not from music, so he never got any type of support from his family for his music, and still he is struggling alone to make his dreams come true. He always wants to do something big and different. He says : "Money is not everything, you must not always run after the money. You must do something which makes you alive after your death also. This is my dream, and I'll feel glad if I could do something which makes me alive in the hearts of people forever." Duration of 3 years in Jaipur was the turning point of his life. He realised his real talent there among his friends and his school (Tagore Public School) played a great role in boosting his self confidence. He says : "Jitna moral support mujhe mere doston ne diya, utna mujhe mere apno se nahi milta". He loves his friends and is always helpful for them. He doesn't beleive in God and Ghosts. He says that all these are just blind faith. In his childhood, he took so many daring challanges to prove that these ghosts and evils are only imaginations. He always listens of his mind. He loves making new friends, but then also, he doesn't have any friends in his own birthplace. He says that his mentallity is totally different from the teens of his own birthplace and the reason of it is the difference of thoughts among them. This is the reason that 99% of his friends belong from the other cities than Ballia. He is having a great knowledge of computer secrets and blogging. He is running a blog named "THE NEXT GENERATION" and sharing his knowledge with the people of the world. Currently he is working with his music album which will be released soon. All the songs of his album are written by him (Except one, which was written by Ujjal Paul) and the whole music is composed by him only. Here also, he says that "Mujhe sab kuch akele karna hi achha lagta hai, kyon ki main sirf khud ki sunta hoon aur apne kaam mein kisi ki dakhal-andaazi pasand nahi karta." About his future plans, he says that he want to become a playback singer and if time allows, he would like to do some professional courses in computers and would like to work as a computer engineer (additionally).
