Sasha Lazard is one of the most innovative and extraordinary talents on the international music scene, pioneering an exciting musical fusion of classical art songs, Russian folk tunes and opera arias with contemporary rock and electronic beats.
An accomplished soprano, Sasha received her vocal training at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. With an edgy sophistication and an artistís 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. She unveiled her new sound at top venues in New York and Los Angeles, and performed for over 8,000 people in Europeís largest nightclub, Club Privilege in Ibiza, Spain.
She received overwhelming acclaim from U.S. and European club audiences and was soon asked to record the theme song to the film Princess Mononoke; the critically acclaimed, Holy Smoke, starring Kate Winslet; Modigliani, starring Andy Garcia; and most recently, the end credit song to Kettle of Fish starring Mathew Modine and Gina Gerson. Her song "Miles Away" was chosen as the theme song for the Toronto Film Festival. Her alluring rendition of "Angeli" was featured in Victoria Secret's "Angel" campaign.
Sasha sings for top designers and celebrities at events like the re-opening of Bulgari's flagship store in Beverly Hillís, and for the launching of their new jewelry lines in Cannes, Paris, Basel, Sao Paolo, Rome and St. Petersburg. She performed for Maserati at The Four Seasons, and for events for fashion designers including Caroline Herrera and Richard Tyler, Max Mara, and Narciso Rodriguez, and Salvatore Ferragamo. Sashaís most recent appearances were at the Whitney Museum Gala and a private event at Cipriani, and singing the National Anthem at Shea Stadium.
Sasha Lazardís debut album, The Myth of Red, was released on Higher Octave Music//EMI and made a remarkable impact on Billboardís Hot Dance Chart and Billboardís Classical Crossover Chart. Sasha has completed an acoustic CD entitled "Moonfall" which is available on CDbaby.com/SashaLazard.
In 2006, Sasha recorded a duet album with soprano Shawna Stone entitled "Siren" for Manhattan Records/EMI. Siren was produced by Peter Asher and Frank Fitzpatrick and was released on March 5, 2007. Sasha and Shawna appeared in March in a PBS special entitled "Heavenly Voices".
Sasha is now at work on a follow up album to The Myth of Red, working with producers BLISS and collaborating again with Frank Fitzpatrick and David Tobocman.
What's up, you wanna nab a celeb as a producer on your next album? You need someone to make your band to fan calls for you? Someone to operate your myspace(s)? Need reviews? Heck, maybe your big enough where with the right call you could host a big ass party and have it officially affiliated with an MTV party complete with camra crew or logos... Maybe you just want to be on mix cd's distributed to stores or you need merch at material cost and will agree to pay the rest in 40 days (no returns). Maybe you need help finding a CPA/CFO, personal booking agent, graphics artist, manager, producer, engineer. Crap.. You might be a producer or what have you and are looking to promote yourself in our "in house services".. WE ARE CUSTOM.. WE ARE FLEXIBLE
