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.
