Q: What is the purpose of Sanctum
Records?
Sasha: Sasha: It’s a label and platform dedicated to raising
vibration on the planet through the creation of state-of-the art,
magical music unrestricted by genre. Our ethos is to use our
music to harmonize the planet from the micro to the macro. By
starting from the individual and out into society, we cooperate
with social enterprises aligned with our values and use the
music as a tool to create social impact. Each of the artists we will
have on Sound Sanctum will support a specific social cause that
runs through their campaigns as a golden thread connecting all
things. I firmly believe sound is vibration, and all matter vibrates.
All matter is therefore sound. Our bodies are the instruments
through which the vibration of our spirit sings. How can we raise
our vibration? How can we tune in to our true selves? How can
we hear our true calling? Sound Sanctum will provide a platform
for us to begin finding answers to these questions. All our music
will be recorded at 432Hz as opposed to the traditional Western
tuning system of 440Hz. This frequency is known as the Love
frequency and has been scientifically proven to bring healing,
balance and vitality to the cells of the human body. It is the
frequency which unites spirit and matter. We provide ancient
sonic healing technology through music that is completely
contemporary: allowing our audiences to embark on a journey
of self-discovery and expansion. Our Northern star is artistic
integrity; combined with musical mastery and crafted with
excellence into a music that is transcendent.
Q: Your previous works have been very
successful on platforms like Spotify. As
an artist, what do you feel when so many
people listen to your music?
Sasha: First, it’s tremendously fulfilling to know that the music is
reaching people. Also, I’m curious about all those eardrums that
it’s vibrating against! Who are these listeners? What kind of day
were they having when they listened to the track? What did the
music conjure for them? “Crow” had 800,000 plays on Spotify, yet
I don’t feel ownership of the songs on my record. I feel awe and
gratitude that they have decided to birth themselves through
me. And my urge is to share them as far and wide as possible.
Q: What first inspired
you to go into music?
Sasha: I remember wanting to be a doctor and
a baker, but really one of the first memories I
have of “wanting to be something when I grew
up” was of being a songwriter. I went about it in
earnest from the age of 11. My first song was a
setting of Maya Angelou’s “A Caged Bird Sings.”
My younger brother, Charlie, started playing the
violin when he was 2-year-old! So, I was curious
and followed suit exploring music, specifically
the piano, from the age of five and loved the way
music made me feel. Nothing was as nourishing
or as transcendent for me as spending hours
creating sound at the piano. It was a life saver
for me as an introverted and super-sensitive
teenager.
