Imperious Entertainment

Dasha (dah-shah) Greek origin, n. "Gift of God"- Born in Oakland, CA, this brown-eyed beauty started singing at the age of 5. She happened to stumble upon her gift one day while rummaging through her mother's cassette tapes. Once she started to learn songs like "Baby Come To Me" and "Down Home Blues", she entered her first show later that year and won singing Mariah Carey's, "Vision of Love". After that, there was no stopping her...

Imperious Interview

Imperious: I see you performed Mariah Carey for your first show as a child. Who are some of your other musical influences?

Dasha: I have quite a few actually and for different reasons. My top two would be Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige. However, there are other wonderfully talented artists that I look up to, such as Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, James Brown, and Jill Scott. I wouldn’t say that I try to create a mirror image of who they are, but there are certain things that each one does like no other that I really admire.

Imperious: Is there anyone currently in the music industry you can compare yourself to? 

Dasha:  Most people say Mary J. We both sing about things that are real to the human experience and that are our own experiences. It is easy to convey things musically when you know what the pain feels like.

Imperious: The guys want to know your relationship status. Are you single?

Dasha: At this present time, I am single. I date, but I have not found Prince Charming yet. However, I am looking forward to finding him.

Imperious: Describe this Prince Charming guy?

Dasha: My Prince Charming would be someone who is just as ambitious as I am and supportive of what I want to do. He will be my friend as well as my lover. And he needs to know how to cook! Lol, this is a must. Something about men in the kitchen that gets to me. Such a beautiful thing. I have to be attracted to him, but I’m at a point in my life where the physical is not everything. But, there must be an attraction, chemistry, or vibe between that person and me. I like a man with a sense of humor, a nice smile, and big hands, lol. Above all, he must be HONEST.

Imperious: So, what’s next for Dasha?

Dasha: Well, it’s back to the studio for me. A lot of writing to do for others and myself. I am currently trying to get another song placed in a film. I’m pretty much going to go into a boot camp phase where I focus on getting in shape, working on my voice, dance training, etc. In addition, I am going to dive into the spoken word arena and start performing locally. It will be a busy road ahead, but it is what I need and want to do. Whatever else comes, so be it.
