Sasha Keable’s Tiny Desk performance is a powerful testament to resilience, marking a triumphant moment after numerous music industry setbacks that might have convinced others to walk away. Her journey to the Desk began years ago when her own father introduced her to the series after watching Tom Jones play. When 2019’s ‘MAN’ EP dropped, the raw music and Keable’s brash delivery coupled with effortless power immediately drew comparisons to the first time listeners heard Amy Winehouse. Though a scheduled performance was curbed by COVID-19, Keable’s profile skyrocketed last year with a string of singles that captivated audiences globally and even earned her a shout-out from Beyoncé in a GQ magazine interview. Flying over from South London, the British Colombian singer-songwriter enlisted the Slim Wav-led Band of Brothas to arrange a dynamic medley of bangers from her upcoming ‘act right’ EP, proving this victory lap is just the exciting beginning of her career.
