Sasha Cay lives in Montreal, the same city in which she grew up, cutting her teeth on the city's bars and DIY venues, playing & hosting open mics and performing with local punk and psych rock bands, doubling as a filmmaker & making music videos for local bands. In 2017, she emerged with a collection of bedroom recordings — lo-fi indie songs inspired by the idiosyncratic tunings of Nick Drake & the spontaneity of the Velvet Underground. These short Bandcamp releases as well as her EP Arthur’s Party Trick paved the way towards her forthcoming debut LP Spin, as she and her drummer Rhys began making music together by recording a Nirvana song for kicks to test out the DIY studio Rhys had just set up in their apartment basement.
