biographical info
The girl next door meets the devil that everybody pretends they don’t know. Writing songs that are dramatic, dynamic, emotive, and unpredictable, Dasha Postnikova showcases her own style of modern day piano-centric rock in a very unforgettable way. Dasha, a classically trained pianist, grew up listening to an unlikely mix of Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Pantera, Metallica, Tool, Faith no More and Guns n’ Roses. She wrote her first song when she was 13, received a FACTOR grant soon thereafter and currently spends most of her time on stage and in the studio with bands and as a solo artist. Her most recent endeavour was with a Vancouver hard-rock band called SoWhatNothing. Dasha was the core songwriter as well as singer and pianist in this original band. SoWhatNothing quickly received a lot of attention in a very short time. A few of their most notable accomplishments included receiving a full clothing sponsorship from MACHINE Clothing out of Toronto ON, playing 30+ live gigs in 9 months, touring to Toronto, receiving frequent radio play on Vancouver’s rock giant 99.3 CFOX’s “Indie Night In Canada”, playing twice “Live On Air” on CFOX (“6 O’Clock Rock Report” as well as on “Indie Night In Canada”), and playing live on local TV show “Urban Rush”. After gaining a great deal of experience and creating a bunch of new fans, Dasha opted to go solo and pursue the music that suited her most…a little bit of rock, a little bit of aggression, a little bit of hook and a whole lot of passion.
