Meet Sasha
Joined Alex FM: 2024
Sasha Davies brings decades of music industry experience — and a healthy dose of cheek — to Alex FM. Their radio journey started early, with a love for music kicking off at age 10 and work experience at SA-FM during its early years (alongside legendary presenter John Vincent). From there, they hit the airwaves at 5THE-FM in Millicent, then Bay FM in Byron Bay, and now calls Alex FM home.
Sasha describes their entry into Alex FM simply: “I had something to offer.” And that they certainly do. With a professional musician’s ear and an irreverent sense of humour, they curate shows that are bold, eclectic, and deeply connected to Australia’s thriving music scene — all while wrangling life as a devoted parent.
When it comes to musical taste, Sasha’s influences are as broad as they are deep. Their all-time favourite band is the iconic Cold Chisel, while Louis Jordan, the jump blues legend, holds a special place as their top solo artist. As for favourite songs? It doesn’t get more raw or rebellious than Frenzal Rhomb’s “You Can’t Move Into My House” — a track that perfectly matches Sasha’s fiercely independent style.
They’re not one for genre snobbery (though they might have opinions), and while their musical library may have cost a fortune, community radio gives the perfect excuse to put it to good use.
About this program
Sound Asylum
A two-hour adventure where Australian music takes the spotlight in the first hour, followed by an unrestricted second hour featuring “Seiya’s 5” and whatever else Sasha feels like spinning. It’s unpredictable, unapologetic, and always pushing boundaries. Expect a heavy dose of AMRAP-supported artists and new voices worth discovering.
