Sasha Smirnova is a music producer and visual artist from Belarus. After dedicating her childhood to becoming a pianist, a wrist injury that put a stop to her music journey, and several professional detours later, she recently returned to music and released her debut single and EP on the Helsinki-based label World Canvas. She is currently continuing shaping her sound and working on her next EP.

Trained as a classical pianist, Smirnova’s music centers around the keyboard as the primary instrument. She uses it to play meticulously designed sounds, both digital and analog, blending them with processed vocals, and shifting rhythmic patterns.
