Exclusive Interview With Sasha Siem

It was when Sasha Siem began to explore the idea of female guilt in the Judeo-Christian tradition that she realised just how much internalised, heredity blame she was carrying herself. With this knowledge she wrote ‘Eve Eyed’, an empowering and introspective track that calls women everywhere to join together in liberating themselves from society’s coercive control of female minds and bodies. We caught up with Sasha to talk about her music, inspiration, and how becoming a mother changed her as a woman and as an artist.

Ashalei Nickole – ‘Growing Pains’

Ashalei Nickole started singing at the age of 5, with the loving encouragement of her father. He realised she had a gift, and set aside every Friday night to work with her. From there she started writing and recording music, and at 14, her father built her a home studio. Now with Bachelor’s degree in Recording Arts, Ashalei Nickole describes herself as “like Batman undercover”, and records most of her songs by herself, as well as being heavily involved in the studio.
