Vancouver Island’s Adam Ashten Inspires Resilience with New Alternative Rock Anthem, “Never Gonna Quit”
Release Date: Tuesday, January 21
Vancouver Island, BC – Canadian alternative rock artist Adam Ashten is proud to announce the release of his new single, “Never Gonna Quit,” on January 21. Rooted in personal experiences and a message of perseverance, the track serves as a rallying cry for anyone on the brink of giving up.
Written during a pivotal moment in Ashten’s life, “Never Gonna Quit” was inspired by the sounds of his daughter playing in the next room. Facing doubts about continuing his music career, Ashten found himself reflecting on the lessons he and his wife teach their daughter: hard work and persistence can achieve anything. “How could I consider giving up,” he recalls, “when I tell her to never quit?”
The song’s title and hook were solidified when his daughter ran into the room singing, “Oh, oh, never gonna quit,” and asked, “What’s this one called?” Her enthusiasm reinvigorated Ashten’s creativity and passion, and the track soon became a family affair. For the first time in his career, he invited his wife - Kirsten of nearly 12 years to lend her voice to the song, creating a heartfelt collaboration that amplifies the song’s uplifting message.
The result is a upbeat- alternative rock anthem with strong melodies and an empowering theme of persistence. “Never Gonna Quit” is designed to connect with anyone navigating challenges, reminding listeners to keep pushing forward.
Ashten shares, “This song is deeply personal, but its message is universal. I hope it reaches people who feel like they’re at the edge and helps them find the strength to keep going.”
“Never Gonna Quit” available on all major streaming platforms starting January 21
