Sasha Tandon - Pop

London

A talented artist with a law degree, Sasha a singer/songwriter who splits her time between London and Northern Ireland has a pop/RNB sound. Whilst Sasha admits to being obsessed with Frank Sinatra, it’s Toni Braxton who she also loves – a strong woman and her music is fierce and emotive, a definite inspiration for Sasha. The majority of music that she’s released to date is covers. She chooses the songs she covers by listening to what is current and if she feels a connection to the particular track. Sasha will be releasing her

debut EP this autumn with the lead single hopefully coming towards the end of summer. The songs on the release are inspired by both personal experiences and experiences of the people around her.

The music that she creates is art that is in turn emotive and inspirational and subsequently affects people in some way.
