Sasha Siem

Sasha Siem is a British-Norwegian singer-songwriter, composer and poet based in London.

Since writing her first song aged 11, music has been her medicine. Thanks to her extensive research into the science and metaphysics of sound, Sasha advocates the power of song to heal and harmonise individuals, communities and even our planet - transforming them ‘from harm to harmony’.

Sasha studied music at Cambridge University and received a PhD in music and poetry from Harvard University and by her early twenties, she had written music for the London Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Opera House, Rambert Dance Company, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Sasha also became one of the youngest people to win a British Composer Award.

Revisiting the songwriting of her youth, Sasha went on to record two experimental albums (Most of the Boys, Bird Burning) with producer Valgeir Sigurðsson (Björk, Feist, Sigur Rós, Ben Frost), in The Greenhouse Studios in Iceland. Since then she has released a further 3 albums to critical acclaim by the likes of Clash, NME, Wonderland, Stereogum, Marie Claire, Billboard, and Line of Best Fit:
