Sasha Simone

Sasha belongs to a roller derby team (a type of speed-skating competition on roller skates, sounds dangerous!) which she goes to three times a week. Her nickname is ‘Black Widow’ (Rita would be proud!), and after moving into a renovation project with her boyfriend she discovered a passion for DIY and is now a trainee student in bricklaying and plastering. For the last five years, Sasha has only ever sung in the shower or behind closed doors. Her family had an intervention and applied for The Voice on her behalf. She only found out about the audition a week before!
