After graduating from Bennington College, Sasha Lazard started getting mired in the classical scene while attending the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. After vocalizing opera in San Francisco and New York's circuit, producer Anthony Vanger teamed up with her to put to work on a revolutionary project to combine opera arias and Russian folks superimposed over electronic music, especially drum'n'bass. While working along with Mark Kamins and Joey Moskowitz, a dissimilar side of electronica began emergent, fascinating classical followers and dance/club audiences at the same time.
Sasha Lazard contributed to the Japanese alive picture show Princess Mononoke with a birdcall composed by Hayaro Miyakazi, and her translation of "Ave Maria" was chosen to be region of Holy place Smoke's soundtrack.
In 2001, Higher Octave Music/Virgin Records gestural her up. The Myth of Red became her debut album, produced by Frank Fitzpatrick and co-produced by Mark Raskin and Dale Wardlaw.
