Sasha

SASHA may be a new name to the mainstream music audience, but what's already proven is this: she'll never be a one-hit wonder…and she's already beaten the sophomore slump. “Dat Sext Body” Sasha's current VP Records single, is Sasha's third major hit to cross over from dancehall to hip-hop. And with radio airplay exploding in Florida and the West Coast, the track is shaping up as a major pop phenomenon, too.
<p>Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Sasha relocated to New York with her family at the age of five. Music was an active pursuit of her mother's and all her four brothers, and Sasha sang in the church choir, stepping out as a soloist at eight in a Jamaican gospel festival. She wrote her first rap at 11, and as a student at August Martin High School, the young teen first performed professionally at Brooklyn's Biltmore Ballroom, modeling herself after such childhood idols as rap's pioneer female act, Salt-N-Pepa, as well as Jamaican female toaster Shelly Thunder. </p>
