Music style

Bad Sasha integrates old-fashioned mood with youthful energy. Inspired by R'n'B from the end of 50's, rebellious energy of punk transpiring decades after, standards of soul, grunge, hip-hop, she merges genres and vocal techniques as she creates her own style of pop music. In addition to that, although essentially playful - lyrics are fully complementary in their substance, advocating for spiritual freedom, personal evolution and empowerment, and a sense of childlike wonder that keeps us connected to all life.
