"Some people are born to shine, while others are born to shine for others."

Many times, a person's success or not is actually an instant decision. That seemingly insignificant decision may cause a 36-degree reversal of your life. In the music circle, the same truth is also enjoyed by * * *.

There is such a singer who is as unknown as other second-and third-line singers in European and American music circles. Maybe one of her songs once existed in your song list, but you won't know the story behind it, and you won't know that there are unknown singers behind such a famous singer. People usually call those who hide behind music producers, but in fact, these music producers can also be singers, but they exist in another way.

Her name is Sasha Si Long, and she has written pop singles for many famous singers. Since 215, she has collaborated with the famous DJ Kygo on the single "This Town", Camila Cabello's OMG and Sasha's famous hit single "Never Different". In addition, she helped Charlie Charlixxx to write Track 1, which was eventually translated into Blame it on Your Love, which was included in charli special school released in 219.

Besides, Good Night by legendary brother john stephens and Faded Love by Tina were written by Sasha. It can be said that many popular songs on the Billboard list after 215 came from her creation.

However, she, who can become a hot female singer successor in Europe and America, has been in a state of "no such person". So what prevented her from becoming really famous?

family and life

Sasha was born in Boston in 1995. Her family is of Russian and Irish descent. In fact, before she became a singer, she didn't use Sasha as her name. In order not to let others find her previous works, she decided to change her name to Sasha Si Long. You can also hear from her music that she had a less happy childhood than her peers.

Her parents divorced prematurely, which made her childhood less sunny than her peers. She said in the song "Old Age": "Whenever there is an argument in the kitchen, she will run into her room and turn up the music."

Having said that, music is actually an indispensable part of Sasha's childhood. Music makes her life different. Her mother taught her music recording when she was a child, and the music education in childhood enabled her to play various musical instruments. So whenever Sasha gets inspired, she turns those emotions into music. As time goes by, she can't live without music.

Sasha's university is studying at Berkeley Conservatory of Music, commonly known as "Harvard in music", and hopes to be an agent. Coincidentally, a photo of her home and house was inadvertently uploaded to instagram and became popular on the Internet, which allowed her to take this opportunity to promote a wave of her own music works.

It was because of her popularity that she knew that writing songs could make money, so she decided to drop out of school and move to Los Angeles. Life in Los Angeles is not easy, because of economic problems, extreme introversion and rejection of contemporary pop music, she is at odds with many producers, but it is in this process that she finds that the creation of pop music is very simple, but it is difficult to write well.

Since then, Sasha has finally found pleasure in the creation of pop music, so she has created a lot of pop music songs, but few songs really fit her personality. Finally, in 215, a song "This Town" co-produced by her and DJ Kygo was officially released. Later, she co-produced "Hang in there" with Louis Tomlinson, the captain of 1 Direction. These works all appeared as producers. The most interesting thing is that when she saw Louis, she wanted to say to him, "I have your poster in my room." But after thinking about it, I still didn't decide to tell him.

It is Sasha's introverted personality that makes his music career less smooth than others. But it was not until 217 that she finally decided to create her own music world.

2. Music and personality

In p>217, she wrote many songs. These songs, including Never Different and Track 1, are finally presented in the voices of other singers in different ways. Finally, in mid-217, she released her first solo track "Ready", which really announced her emergence as a singer.

in an interview, she said, "I haven't found a song that really suits me, so I don't plan to release my own song in recent years." Sasha Sharon finally decided her own music direction at this time, and she didn't expect that she would be the kind of singer who could shine brilliantly.

and she didn't really calculate how many songs she wrote and finally switched to other singers. In a word, she feels that those songs that sound very happy are no longer suitable for her. Besides, Sasha doesn't care about any music charts. She thinks that music should be personalized, authentic and emotional, not a tool to play charts.

Since then, Sasha has released many singles such as Runaway, Fallen, Normal, etc. However, her music always describes life with the simplest melody, and everything is about herself and the people around her, not the crazy party music.

For example, the song "Normal" tells that she always felt unable to fit in with the group, so she attended many parties, but finally found that she could not get along with those "normal" people. However, it is precisely because of her uniqueness that she has created a "perfect" self.

In p>218, Sasha released her first EP "Sad Girl", which formally established her melancholy music route. Some people say that listening to her songs is like talking to a close friend, and going deeper is like communicating with your own soul.

3. Self and Soul

In p>219, she released the third EP "Self-portrait". This album makes people see through her mind more clearly.

In another interview, she said, "So far, I feel very satisfied with my music. People always ask me why all my songs are so sad. I just want to say that maybe one day when I am really in a good mood, I will want to write some happy songs-I just want to make my favorite music. "

Some people laugh at Sasha Sharon for ruining her career. Those songs that are on fire in various lists were originally sung by her own, but they were given to others, just like ruining her career. Sasha's reply made people feel what she really wanted. "I won't write soulless music for fire. Those songs sound as if I have lost my true self. "

In fact, many singers have written some songs that they don't like. For example, Avril Lavigne went through a dark period. In order to be on the list, the company forced Avril to write works that are more suitable for the list, with stronger rhythm and more brainwashing. Avril Lavigne can only do this.

In fact, we finally understand: "People born to shine for others are actually not just to shine for others, but to help more people use their spare energy to embark on their own way of shining."

How many unknown talented women like her are there now?
