Kennedy Music Management Presents - Showcase #3 - Sasha Sky, Dayna Dixon, Ava & The Fates

Sasha Sky

Independent northern singer-songwriter Sasha Sky, first began releasing music in 2021 amidst the UK lockdown. Having loved singing and writing songs since she was 8 years old, music has been a lifelong passion for Sasha - though for the longest time she resisted this passion out of extreme fear.

A pivotal step towards overcoming this anxiety was through studying Performing Arts and Music at New College Durham, which was without a doubt the catalytic milestone towards Sasha finally pursuing music outside of education.

Sasha Sky is a multi-genre artist, heavily influenced by R&B, but loves to write in a variety of genres, which is displayed throughout her discography.

‘Close Call’ will be Sasha Sky’s 10th released studio single. Sasha was inspired to write this single after some events unfolded in her life that triggered a trauma from last year. The resurfacing of those feelings is what led to the creation of ‘Close Call’. Although the story behind ‘Close Call’ is a little unique, the heartbreak and betrayal that came from it is something Sasha know so many people unfortunately relate to.

Dayna Dixon

Dayna Dixon is a UK-based Nouveau Jazz-T ro artist, blending timeless tunes with vintage vocals. Her rich tone and potent lyrics are delivered with playful, expressive flair. Influenced by Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Ella Fitzgerald, she brings a contemporary identity to classic jazz and soul sensibilities.

Rooted in raw, real-life experiences, her sound prioritises real musicianship and rich orchestral arrangements. Drawing inspiration from the scale and sophistication of Bacharach’s big productions, to create an immersive live experience.

Ava & The Fates

Āvā & The Fates is the latest musical project of Ava Ellis, a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer based in Sunderland in the North East of England.

Ava’s music is experimental, ambitious and full of charm, influenced as much by Greek myth as it is by luminaries such as Kate Bush, Bat for Lashes and The Cocteau Twins.

Āvā & The Fates’ self-produced debut album, Steve, was released in February 2026.
