Bio
What would happen if David Bowie, Hunter S. Thompson, and Dali crossbred their souls into a redhead chick who likes to make noise? Shasabi, a.k.a. "Sha" is the artist and songwriter behind a unique blend of triphop and indie-rock that rides like a mood swing from the gritty to the sublime.
Recently Sha has been collaborating with producer Rokk Lattanzio in the triphop project "Area 27". Already the pre-release of 'say my name' has been awarded runner-up for electronica in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, a second for Sha, whose song 'All the Soldiers' was selected as a rock runner-up the previous year. The forthcoming Area 27 album will also include a collaboration with Pink Floyd's soulful backup singer Durga McBroom on a track titled 'Black Sun'.
Sha began her songwriting career as singer/flautist of the indie-rock band Charming, based in the VA/D.C. area, where her song 'Mississippi' generated significant college radio airplay and was released on the Paint With Sound compilation from DeepReverb records; the song "Paralyzed" later appeared on Lemonlime Vol. 2, from SpinART.
Sha moved to NY to study arts technology, where she continued collaborating and recording. After witnessing the events of Sept. 11th firsthand, she realized that life was short, and finally followed her inner calling to head out west. She now lives in L.A. and has played shows at clubs such as The Derby, The Joint, and The Lava Lounge.
