In 2015, Ash was nominated for two awards at the 57th Grammy Awards for his writing and producing contributions to Sam Smith’s debut album In The Lonely Hour, winning the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. Following the success of his work with Sam Smith, Ash would then go on to have a production role on Rag 'n' Bone Man's debut album Human.
