Sasha Prendes (born October 3, 1993), is an American singer, model and actress. She is regarded as one of the leading figures of the emerging Latino-American pop sound. .
Prendes was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey to Cuban parents. Her grandparents barely escaped death at the hands of communist and socialist regimes. She grew up in Olathe, Kansas. At the age of 8 she started writing songs on her bedroom floor, shooting videos on an old cam recorder and choreographing dance routines by Spice Girls and Britney Spears. Through elementary, jr high, high school and college she felt like she didn’t belong. In 2016 at the age of 23 she moved to New York City with just her cat and 200 dollars. She graduated from the University of Kansas in 2014 with a degree in Communications and Broadcasting. In 2015 she appeared in her first commercial, promoting the Love Your Teeth dental kit. She grew up listening to classic Spanish music of all genres. We had huge parties at our house for years growing up. She got interested in country music due to her father listening to Toby Keith. Her most successful single to date has been Shake This which topped numerous indie charts. She has performed at many famous venues such as the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Miami International Mall and the Del Amo Fashion Center.
While living alone in New York she was taken advantage of by fake producers and scammers. She has revealed that she has been the victim of domestic assault. One of her ex-boyfriends passed away in 2020. She is a black belt in taekwondo.
