Ashan Singh
Ashan Singh is a two-time Emmy®-nominated correspondent for ABC News’ “Nightline” and “IMPACT x Nightline,” where he reports longform, narrative-driven stories at the intersection of culture and humanity.
Across his work, Singh gravitates toward the forces shaping the zeitgeist, from emerging social and cultural phenomena to the trends redefining identity, community, entertainment and technology in America today. His reporting often embeds deeply inside under-explored subcultures and minority communities, offering viewers an immersive look at people and places rarely seen on national television.
Singh’s storytelling spans the breadth of modern life, probing true crime investigations, examining movements reshaping cities and generations, and spotlighting the cultural engines behind fandoms, sports and the arts. His interviews include some of the most influential figures in pop culture and music, including Demi Lovato, Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, Seth Rogen, Spike Lee, Cardi B and Lil Nas X, just to name a few.
As a long-form journalist, Singh is drawn to journey-based reporting that humanizes the biggest issues of the moment. He has documented restorative-justice movements, captured frontline debates around cannabis legalization, and conducted the first in-depth broadcast sit-down with former NFL coach Brian Flores about his landmark systemic-racism lawsuit.
He was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Emerging Journalist in both 2023 and 2024, and his work has been featured across ABC News, including “Good Morning America” and “ABC News Live Prime.” Singh was also recognized by the National Association of Black Journalists for his contribution to “Turning Point: Lens of History.”
Singh began his career at “Nightline” in 2016 as a freelance production associate, rising through the ranks as a producer, multiplatform reporter, and on-air contributor before being named a correspondent in 2024.
Born in Mumbai and raised in the Boston area, Singh is a graduate of Tulane University and holds a master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
