About Me

Dasha (dah-shah) Greek origin, n. "Gift of God"-
This brown-eyed beauty with a booming voice has been singing almost as long as she has been breathing. She happened to stumble upon her gift one day while rummaging through her mother's cassette tapes, and at the age of five, she learned songs like "Baby Come To Me" and "Down Home Blues". Soon after, she entered her first show where she won singing Mariah Carey's, "Vision of Love". Even at a young, age she was able to touch listeners through the power and soul that she possesses.Intrigued by her natural love of the stage and self-expression, she pushed forward in following her purpose- music. She started writing songs at the age of 13 and spent most of her adolescent years recording, writing and performing around northern California and beyond. It wasn’t long before she found herself at the world famous Apollo Theater in New York City. This would not be her only accomplishment in her young career; she would claim 3rd in the California Teen Vocal Championships and perform at other notable venues.A strong believer in fulfilling one’s purpose, Dasha left her home in San Leandro, California and headed to sunny Los Angeles to pursue her career in music full time. A recent UCLA grad, she obtained a Bachelors of Arts in Ethnomusicology where she studied under jazz legends such as Gerald Wilson, Barbara Morrison and Kenny burrell. That was just the beginning for this soulful songstress. With only a year out of college she has already managed to make great strides.Priding herself on not being “put in a box”, She was commissioned to do a Christian pop song for a feature film in 2007, entitled “x’s and o’s”, where she wrote and performed the song ”Praise Him”.In 2007, she was the featured brains and beauty for Hip Hop DX for the month of November and has worked with many people in the industry including: the Underdogs, Howard Hewett, Lil' Fiz, K Irving, The Professor, Bedrock and Critical Hits among others.With many facets under her belt and over 20 years of experience, she has diversified her gifts and has taken on many titles such as director, producer and host. You can also catch her hosting red carpet events for various forms of media such as "Noyze DVD magazine " and TheClubMix.com.While obtaining more radio play on both fm and internet stations, Dasha is also writing songs for other artists in conjunction with D.L.S., her writing team, and others, as well as writing and recording her own music projects. With a growing fan base and almost 150,000 hits on her myspace page, she is definitely on the brink of something bigger than any life itself, She’s looking into her own destiny. Her time is now.
