Sasha was born and raised by his single mother in Soest, Germany. His musical career started when he became lead singer of a school band called Junkfood. The group recorded several demo tapes together, but attracted no label interest and the band soon split. At the same time the producers of the German rapper Der Wolf engaged him as background singer for the hit single “Gibt’s Doch Gar Nicht”, a success improved upon by his first official appearance, on “Wannabe Your Love”, a top 10 collaboration with newcomer Young Deenay.

In 1998 Sasha abandoned his studies of German and Sports due to his increasing interest in becoming a professional singer. He signed a contract with Warner Music and teamed up once again with Deenay to release another duet, “I’m Still Waitin’”, the lead single off his debut album Dedicated to … . Released in fall 1998, the album peaked at number 4 on the German album chart and was eventually certified Platinum. With “If You Believe”, “We Can Leave the World” and “I Feel Lonely” the album spawned three further Top 10 hits.
In 2000 and 2001 Sasha followed up with the albums … You and Surfin’ on a Backbeat. The longplayers exceeded the success of his debut, whereas the singles became bigger hits via airplay than through their sales. At the same time the singer was acknowledged with several awards, including a Bambi and an ECHO for “Best Newcomer”.
In 2003 Sasha started performing as lead singer of a rockabilly band called Dick Brave & The Backbeats. Originally conceived as a humorous lark, their success encouraged the group to record a whole album together, and “Dick This!” eventually became the singer’s first number 1 record. It also featured a successful remake of 1961’s “Take Good Care of My Baby”, originally written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and performed by Bobby Vee. In November 2004 the project was discontinued. However, alias Dick Brave’s continual presence had earned Sasha an older audience for the first time.
In March 2006 Sasha returned with his latest album Open Water, which was followed up by his Greatest Hits album in late 2006.

Sascha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause baby you know Yeah you know I would go anywhere for you Yeah baby you know Yeah you know I would do anything for you
But no you don't no you don't do the same for me I put you first cause I thought we were meant to be But no you don't no you don't do the same for me So why do I keep falling for you
So many nights you kept me waiting I'm tired of this shit You say that you're sorry and that you're gonna quit But you just tell me things I like to hear and everything around me disappears
But no you don't no you don't do the same for me I put you first cause I thought we were meant to be But no you don't no you don't do the same for me So why do I keep falling for you
I know that you're bad bad bad for me But still I go back back back to you Yeah I know that you're bad bad bad for me But still I go back to you
But no you don't no you don't do the same for me I put you first cause I thought we were meant to be But no you don't no you don't do the same for me So why do I keep falling for you
No you don't do the same for me
The lyrics to Sascha's song "2 AM" depict the struggle of being in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate that same level of love and commitment. The singer is aware of the toxic nature of their relationship, as the other person continuously goes out and gets drunk, and only reaches out to the singer when they're lonely. Despite knowing that the other person isn't treating them fairly or putting in the same effort, the singer can't seem to let go of their feelings and keeps falling for them. The chorus showcases the singer's willingness to do anything and go anywhere for the other person, yet they never receive the same level of love and dedication in return.
The song's theme of unrequited love and the struggle to let go is relatable to many people who have been in similar situations. The lyrics paint a clear picture of the singer's inner turmoil and the pain that comes with loving someone who doesn't love them back. The use of the repeated phrase "I know that you're bad for me" emphasizes the conflict between the singer's heart and mind, as they're aware that the other person is not good for them, but they still can't help their feelings.
Overall, Sascha's "2 AM" is a poignant depiction of the struggle to come to terms with unrequited love and the pain that comes with it.

I can not even describe how many amazing, lovely, fun filled, life-changing evenings up-till-dawn weekends I've experienced to this album. I have no doubt, that when I'm dying, if someone were to ask me to name the top 10 albums of my life, this would be in the list. I turn 54 next week :-)
