The Story
"At just 14, Sasha Yatchenko is still evolving. But for now she has managed to channel a little bit of Edie Brickell, Suzanne Vega, and Norah Jones into her selection of radio-worthy original tunes. Really."-- Boston Globe , 6/4/09.
Sasha began singing and writing at the tender age of 9 while living in South Boston, MA. Her keen sensitivity to the world around her comes through in beautiful melodies and lyrics that touch those who have the pleasure of hearing her perform.
By the time Sasha was 12 years old she had already accumulated a vast amount of original material and was introduced to producer, Ken Hickey, from the Boston band O Positive. Over the following year, she recorded six original tunes on her debut EP, Wednesday Night Sessions, (released in January, 2009). In 2010 Sasha began collaborating with producer Jorge Corante of Los Angeles based Urban Authentic. With Jorge's production and guidance, Sasha earned her first movie song credit in the independent film Adultolescence with her song "Far Away".
Sasha has a soulful sound with a witty pop flair. She can be found performing in local Boston area open mics, music festivals and quite frequently the streets of Boston.
Now playing "China" written, performed and produced by Sasha Yatchenko in her basement on garageband.
