Sasha Galliver's BIOGRAPHY

What can I say? I'm 20 years of age and ever since I can remember I wanted to be an entertainer. Apparently when I was 8 months old, I was humming. I think it's always been in the blood. I inherited my singing and love of music from my grandfather. He was David Galliver who was a professor at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, Adelaide. He also travelled with his music and sang for the queen and the pope. He always said I had the potential to be an opera singer, but I chose to nurture my own style. Also, my mother pursued interests in music and theatre. So, really, I had no choice.

I don't know exactly what you would class my music as, but I'd say a range of styles, even combined ones if you like. I'm not aiming to become a pop star, nor am I aiming for a particular crowd. I just love to enjoy music and if people want to share it with me, well, the more the merrier.

A lot of my songs relate to emotions. You could say I am an emotional person, but a strong one at that. Writing helps me to express my true feelings without the distraction of society. You could say I'm understanding when it comes to dealing with an emotional roller coaster. I write about things that express my emotional state at the time.

One thing I enjoy about music is I know people can relate to it. Everyone can understand it because it speaks one language and that is emotion and everybody has them. I think music brings people together and even can inspire. It also helps people to understand what kind of person I am.

So that's why I love it.
