Sasha Jane Bond

and her band Askalberto

About

At 19 years old, Sasha Jane Bond represents a fresh, sophisticated direction for the North London music scene. Raised in St John’s Wood and educated in Hampstead, her background in theatre—which she began at 14—gave her a foundational confidence on stage that many artists take years to develop. Between the ages of 15 and 16, she undertook intensive vocal training to refine a voice that is now capable of shifting seamlessly between delicate jazz inflections and assertive funky grooves.

Sasha is a songwriter who prioritizes the craft of composition, writing her own material that draws from the classic jazz-funk lineage while sounding entirely contemporary.

Despite her young age, she has already established an international footprint, performing with her band in Paris, Belgrade, Switzerland, and London. Her ability to lead a band and command an audience in multiple European capitals marks her as an emerging talent with a significant future in the global soul and jazz landscape.
