From 2015 till now she was already a pretty active Songwriter for other artists such as

and many many more.

Solo Career
She started her own solo career with the song 'Ready Yet' in 2017. Two months after the three collabs she made in the same year.

Ready Yet

She then went ahead and dropped another single a month later 'Runaway'
Runaway

Onto 2018 she released her first album ep called "sad girls".
Songs included:

1. Normal
2. Fall
3. Ready Yet
4. Hurt
5. Runaway
6. Here

" I wrote “Normal” at a time when I was partying a lot. I don’t think I realized it at the time, but I was avoiding all the real problems in my life by going out and pretending to be someone else. I did this a lot in high school too – most of my life I’ve felt like an outsider so I would go to parties to feel like I fit in. There isn’t a single lyric in this song that isn’t true. I’ve definitely sang along to songs I hated and made out with guys I wasn’t really into just to seem cool. “Normal” is about wanting to blend into the crowd for a night and I hope someone out there can relate. "
She didn't go much into it, she mentioned it is about her dad though.

"I think I always get scared whenever I get close to someone and that’s where this song comes from. This song is really personal for me too because it’s about my ex-boyfriend. I broke up with him recently after we had been together since I was 18. I’ve been pretty nervous to put it out because it hits so close to home and I know he’s going to hear it "
Interview about the debut EP

Later this year she continued to release 4 singles.

The Only
Faking It
Chasing Parties
Older

"The sad girl now released a single which is about the feelings of being alone and feeling bad about ourselves for us being alone or single. This song is about a state of mind which always blames being alone and the fear of being Lonely."
"Sasha sings about faking love in a relationship. The relationship could have possibly started with her actually digging the person, but eventually, her love fell out of place. She stays despite not having feelings and it just gets her deeper in the relationship which eventually just makes it harder to leave."



I think it's worth mentioning again that she wrote most of these songs on her own or as a co-writer.

The songs I personally like the most are the last 4 singles she released. So if you decide to listen to her music after reading through this introduction, definitely check out these 4 at first.

This was the first Part of the series.
Hope you enjoyed.
See you soon again.
