Hi Everyone,

Finally, spring decided to ‘land’ in Madrid, too. We have been having a lot of rain and some cold weeks and I was desperate for some sunwarmth. And today was a good day. I had a busy few days with a nice concert as a highlight at the Dutch Embassy here in Madrid to celebrate Kingsday. It was an honour and a lot of fun. And today is Monday and there was nothing urgent on the agenda. And… the sun had come out!

I decided to first take a walk along the river Manzanares. There are some parks nearby where I live, so I can always connect with nature and I do that often. Watching the ducks build their nests, visiting the little ‘hidden’ pond where the frogs ‘sing’ (what is it they do actually? Who knows?) . I found a nice spot, lay in the grass, dreamed away and thought a bit about the  next steps I need to take. Apart from work, I have decided to finally finish my apartment. It really needs a paintjob! Yes!

The album and the presentation for the launch is going great, but we are more people working on it and therefore the release will be after the 15th of May. However, I can’t really say when. It’ll be either the end of June or the beginning of September.  But it’s worth the wait and we can grow an appetite 😉 . But boy, is everything going to be gorgeous!

If you are interested in preordering the album: you’re in luck! Please browse around in my litlle shop. I highly recommend the option with the physical artwork. You won’t regret it as there is more to the experience than music… 😉  click here to pre-order 

I’m also writing for another cool project. Something really out of my comfort zone, but absolutely beautiful and I am reall happy with what I’ve got so far. I will keep you posted ofcourse.

So, yes, that’s it for my little update. I hope you are having an amazing spring. Enjoy it, wherever you are.

xx, Sas

Yes! It is getting more real every time. I am working hard, together with some amazing people to present something beautiful for you to enjoy. I’m feeling amazing, being able to create this and I’m happily passing that feeling on. A special thank you, my crowfunders, for making this all possible.

The expected release date is May 15. But you can already pre-order your copy here !  I will keep the surprise, though  ;).

If you wish to make a donation in return for the album and its artwork > €25,- : it is still possible and very much appreciated. With your help I  can send this baby off into the skies. Thank you so so much.

I will keep you posted, here and via Facebook and Instagram. (would love to connect here too, If you have an account)

Enjoy this spring, lovely people, speak soon, xx, Sas

Hello! My name is Sas, I am a singer and a songmaker and I am currently recording my second full length album. The genre is pop- poprock and it is going to be bright, melodic, full of energy and elegant at the same time. I am extremely pleased with how everything is going. The songs are vibrant and sparkling, and I love how this all is coming together in such a perfect way.

I chose to work with the best and the nicest musicians, photographers and graphic designers, because I believe that  if you bring awsomeness together, you’ll get the best product. So, ‘my’ people, are just amazing and super nice. Music and Art is our life, but it is your life too. It’s everywhere and it’s often for free, even though there is an incredible amount of work and effort in creating it. So, this crowdfunding is just another form of paying for a product you might want to purchase or support. And it’s cool, really cool to be an art lover & supporter.♥

Any amount is appreciated, however small, you decide if and how much you want to give. And if you like my drive and you feel wealthy, please consider supporting my work with a generous or even a monthly donation. My ambition doesn’t stop with the release of this baby. I would like to take this album on the road with a live band and reach people. There really is no other purpose  than spreading joy and fun. Music maybe, is as important as air and I just love to bring that to you. It is simple and I think it’s beautiful.

You will receive a digital copy of the album the moment it is released. (early 2019) *Donations over 20 euros include the  gorgeous A5 fanzine- format booklet with the lyrics, info about the album, photos and artwork. You will receive an email from me where I will be asking you to send me a postal address. I ship worldwide.

You will receive an email from paypal (they will address you with your full name) and from me personally.

I thank you wholeheartedly for your time and for your generosity, you’re awsome

Love,

Sas

Hi Everyone,

July is around the corner and somehow it is the only true start of summer for me. I haven’t gone on a real holiday since ages so usually, most of my summermonths I spend working on  my music, teaching English, performing and performing as a streetartist. Yess! You gotta pay the rent, but I love playing for people. Busking is one of my favorite things to do, I always feel so free and it is so rewarding, because if people stop to listen to you, they genuinely listen to you. And I love luring them into my world, even if it is for only a short while. I like the summervibe, even though this Spanish heat can get quite obnoxious at times.

Madrid is treating me very nicely, I must say: I am performing on a regular basis, with a performance at the Dutch Embassy on Kingsday as a small highlight. I’m a happy girl. This month there are several events coming up, that I look forward to: I am collaborating with The Circular Project. A project led by Paloma García, an incredible woman who is the driving force behind the sustainable fashion movement here in Spain. I will perform for them on the 3d of July at their press conference at the Swedish Embassy (I know, haha, it’s becoming ‘a thing’ ) and on the 13th of July, when they are presenting their anual Slow Fashion-Show at Matadero here in Madrid. Honoured and really looking forward to this collab!

Then, the 22nd I am thrilled to announce that I will  be playing at Café La Palma again. I love this venue! If you are around, please come and join us, it’s going to be a wonderful night with some surprises.

Furthermore, I will continue working on the album this summer. Some really beautiful turns have come about. But more about that, in my next blog.

Have an incredible summer you guys!

xx, Sas

Hello lovely people,

Sometimes things that happen in your life need to be celebrated. The good things and the so-called ‘bad’. Now, I am not a celebration girl, I celebrate a lot of things, but just for myself. (I hardly ever go to parties, but ssssh)  If my sunny-side-up turned out perfectly cooked for example,(runny yolk, runny yolk, yes)  I do a little dance of joy in my kitchen. Big things I celebrate in silence. But it’s always a party.

Now, today is a special personal day for me.  And it is raining, but I love that. Soon the sun will shine and we can all go out and enjoy the flowers and the fresh air of spring. (Do I sound like a hippy? yeah, I sound like a hippy..)

Anyway, on this day I am celbrating the good stuff that came out of the ‘bad’. But since ‘good’ and ‘bad’, in my book, are not that important, I just celebrate everything these days.

I am just following joy and good vibes. If people fail you: good: they are just an indicator that they are not a good match for you. If people raise your energy: great! It’ll make everything flow with ease and effiency!

Bonito día to all, S
