New York Notes: Sasha Lazard
Whom You Know is looking forward to featuring Sasha Lazard as a Mover and Shaker! In the meantime we would encourage you to listen to her angelic cd's.
Classically trained vocalist turned cultural protagonist, Sasha Lazard is one of the most innovative and extraordinary talents on the international music scene pioneering a modern mix of operatic vocals and electronic rhythms that are both haunting and hypnotic. An accomplished soprano, Sasha received her vocal training at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, but with an edgy sophistication and an artistic desire for freedom, Sasha eventually rebelled against the constraints of the tight-laced opera scene and left behind her established career as a classical performer.
She began collaborating with pop producer Frank Fitzpatrick and redefined her performance to overwhelming critical acclaim across the globe. Soon followed, the Myth of Red, Sasha Lazard’s debut album, was released on Higher Octave Music/EMI and in addition to great critical acclaim and made a remarkable impact on both Billboard’s Hot Dance Chart and Billboard’s Classical Crossover Chart.
Her music has since been used in a variety of mediums from television to film, having appeared most recently in the Fall 2006 Victoria's Secret campaign, the movie Kissed by an Angel, the movie Modigliani starring Andy Garcia, and as the theme song for the Toronto International Film Festival. Sasha has performed for top designers, luxury brands, and celebrities at events in the top venues of the world including The Whitney Museum, Carnegie Hall, The New York Public Library, Shea Stadium and the National Arts Club, and has been featured in Billboard Magazine, The New York Post, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Town and Country to name a few.
Her latest CD “Siren,” was released on Manhattan/EMI Records.
