Born on November 10, 1972, in the city of Monticello, Indiana, United States of America, Ashba was raised by his parents both of whom played pivotal roles in his music career. His mother was a classical pianist and introduced him to music while he was still a toddler. She taught him to play the piano and by the time he was only five years old, he performed “Ode to Joy” by Beethoven at his first piano recital. From that moment on, things only got better for Ashba. He began to learn to play the drums and bought his own set of drums at the age of six.
By the time he was eight, he bought his first guitar with the money he made from a menial job, working on the fields. He learned to play this guitar from a local guitarist who taught him every day on his way to work. As a celebration of his 16th birthday, his father took him to a Motley Cruel concert. Ashba would later say that being at that concert made him realize that was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. By the time he was 18, he packed his things and moved to Hollywood, where he began to pursue his music career.
