Aasis Giri, widely recognized as Aasis Beats, is a Nepalese record producer, songwriter, and sample creator hailing from Kathmandu, Nepal. He holds the distinction of being the first Nepali music producer whose work has achieved the top position on the Billboard charts.

Aasis co-produced New World Depression, the debut chart-topping album by Suicideboys.

Early life
Born on August 17, 1999, in Kathmandu, Nepal, Aasis Giri began his journey into music production at age 17. His creative approach was shaped by influences including Nick Mira, Metro Boomin, Drake, Juice Wrld, and Noah 40. Known professionally as Aasis Beats, he characterizes his sound as "synthetic," "melodic," and "nostalgic." He developed his craft primarily through producing with FL Studio and dedicated significant effort to mastering sample creation.
Career
Initially, Aasis focused on selling beats online but later transitioned to uploading loops and samples on Looperman to broaden his reach.
In 2024, he landed a major placement with the single "Band4Band" by Central Cee featuring Lil Baby, which was built around a loop he had crafted years prior. The song climbed to number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, reached number 12 on the Billboard Global 200, and secured the top spot on the UK Hip Hop/R&B Official Charts. The track has amassed over 300 million streams on Spotify and over 100 million views on YouTube. It earned Platinum certification from the RIAA in the United States, along with Platinum status in Canada and Gold certification in the UK.
Later that same year, Aasis contributed to New World Depression, an album by American hip-hop duo Suicideboys. The project reached number one on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, led the US Independent Albums chart, and peaked at number five on the Billboard 200.
He also produced "Chandigarh Ka Chokra" for Indian singer-actress Sunanda Sharma, which attained number 35 on the Asian Music Chart. The song has garnered more than 50 million streams on Spotify and 40 million views on YouTube.
Additionally, Aasis collaborated with artist Tommy Richman of Million Dollar Baby fame to produce "THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE," the lead single from Richman’s debut album Coyote. This track peaked at number ten on the US Heatseekers Albums chart (Billboard).
