主播大秀

From singing in the shopping trolley when she was two-years-old, to singing all over the United States, Hereford country singer/songwriter Sasha McVeigh says music is her life. Born in a small city 'a million miles from everywhere', Sasha garnered a love of country music from her Father who used to 'dance me around the living room to CMT when I was just 18 months old'.

With a strong passion and ear for music she began playing keyboard aged 10 and writing songs in the years that followed: "Songwriting is extremely important to me, I cherish every song I write because each one is so personal; they're like rhyming diary entries."

As well as keyboard, Sasha recently started learning to play acoustic guitar, but you certainly wouldn't be able to tell that she's only been playing for just over two years.

At only 19 years-old, Sasha has already gained a lot of experience and accomplished many goals. During the summers of 2010-12, Sasha has performed at numerous venues across the United States. Among other things, she has performed in Memphis, TN as part of Elvis Week and regularly has bookings in Nashville, TN performing at venues such as Tootsies World Famous Orchid Lounge, The Rutledge and The Bluebird Cafe.

While in Nashville, Sasha recorded her first EP, made up solely of original material: "The whole experience of being in a professional studio was a dream come true and I couldn't be happier with the final product."

2013 has been a big year for Sasha as during the summer she embarked on her first tour of the United States. The tour covered 17 cities, across 13 states and included 36 performances (including three of the major country music festivals). She's recently returned back from Las Vegas where the was the only unsigned artist to perform at the ACM Kick-Off Party - which led to her performing live on ABC Television.

So it was a real privilage and honour to have Sasha officially open the 主播大秀 tent at Wychwood before she set off for Heathrow ahead of another US tour.
