Sacha Williamson

Sacha Williamson is a highly accomplished Toronto singer/songwriter and educator who crosses all soulful music genres. Moving from classic soul and R&B to urban jazz and electronica , this effervescent songstress creates an expansive repertoire that conveys the spirit of such music legends as Nina Simone, Carmen McCrae, Doug & Jean Carne, Lizz Wright, and Jill Scott while remaining authentically all her own.
Through her use of lush harmonies, strong melodic hooks and lyrical analogies, Sacha transports listeners into a realm of higher consciousness where hope and infinite possibilities prevail. Whether staging her own productions or collaborating with other like-minded artists, she exudes sincerity, creativity and spiritual light. Indeed, for Sacha, music is not only a vehicle of expression; but, equally, a way of life.

Sacha's work with -- to name just a few -- world renowned house producer Nick Holder (DNH Records), classic New York DJ/producer/remixer Mr. V (Sole Channel Music), broken beat pioneer IG Culture (New Sector Movements), Swedish producer extraordinaire Opolopo (AMALIA's partner) and Toronto house legend Gene King (Vibes N' Vinyl , Shines Records) has garnered Sacha tremendous respect on today's creative soul scene.

This captivating vocalist has performed in numerous venues across Toronto and the U.S., including the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, Massey Hall, Koerner Hall, the Mod Club, Hugh's Room, the House of Blues (Dallas, Texas), and the Hard Rock Café (Orlando, Florida). Sacha's recordings can be found on the Virgin Canada, V2 (Virgin U.K.), Shelter Records (New York) and Do Right! Music (Toronto) labels, as well as on iTunes. She is currently completing a debut solo project and various other releases. In addition to performing and recording, Sacha teaches vocal jazz at her alma mater, York University.
