WHAT IT IS: Sasha Sloan established herself as one to watch last fall when she wrote and appeared on Kygo’s “This Town,” King Henry’s “I’ll Be There” and Odesza’s “Falls.” Her rise has continued with the release of her first solo track, “Ready Yet,” and follow-up “Runaway,” which was featured at #2 on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. She’ll bring her heartfelt, left-of-center pop to her highly anticipated debut EP—set to be released this spring. Sloan’s songwriting talents have also been sought after by today’s top artists, including Camila Cabello (“Never Be the Same”), Maggie Lindemann (“Pretty Girl”), Steve Aoki/Louis Tomlinson (“Just Hold On”), Tinashe/Future (“Faded Love”) and more. Her songwriting has leant itself to over 1b streams.
SINGLE: “Normal”
LIVE: Opening for Joywave on current nationwide tour (Feb-March); booked for multiple major festivals in the U.S.
INTERNET: Debut single “Ready Yet” has amassed 7.3m+ Spotify streams since October release; 6.4m+ “Runaway” streams
