Sasha Berliner is a musician, composer, producer, band leader, educator, and writer from San
Francisco, CA. She started playing drums at eight years old, and moved to New York in 2016 to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.

The Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music alumni has headlined at venues like the Atlanta Jazz Festival, NYC Winter Jazz Festival, The Jazz Gallery, Blue Note, and the SF Jazz Festival. She was deemed one of SF Jazz's 10 Rising Female Instrumentalists for 2018. She is also the first US recipient of the LetterOne “Rising Stars” Jazz Award in 2018, where she was managed by London based agency Air Artist Agency. She is a major story in the Fall 2019 issue of Jazziz Magazine, and is the youngest nominee in the 2019 Downbeat Magazine Reader's Poll for Best Vibraphonist.

Sasha's work remains primarily based in New York City. In addition to performing internationally with her own project, Sasha Berliner Azalea, her recent notable performances have been with musicians such as drummer-composer Tyshawn Sorey, trumpet player Nicholas Payton, and jazz vibraphonist Warren Wolf. She is an endorsing artist for Vater, Sabian, and Marimba One.

"She has already asserted herself as a creative, genre-defying composer and excellent bandleader with a sixth sense of yet-unheard possibilities." - Burlington Discover Jazz Festival.
