From Hollywood to Heartstrings

There’s something magnetic about transformation and Sarah Schroeder, who performs under the moniker Sarah Sasha, knows this all too well. The Hollywood producer-turned-singer-songwriter is making her mark in a whole new lane with the release of her emotionally gripping single, “On The Wire.” With raw vocals, a visually stunning video, and a message steeped in courage and self-reclamation, Sarah Sasha isn’t just reinventing herself, she’s giving the LGBTQ+ community a new anthem of hope, heartbreak, and healing.

“'On The Wire' was inspired by the experience of barely holding on after being hurt or betrayed,” Sarah explains. “But it’s also about still having the courage and faith to believe in love again.” It’s that tension between pain and perseverance that resonates so deeply with her fans, especially in the queer community. “I hope it leaves listeners feeling understood and uplifted,” she adds. “The LGBTQ+ community has always been a pillar of strength and resilience, and I hope this song reflects that spirit.”

And reflect it, it does. From its first haunting note to its anthemic chorus, “On The Wire” captures the bittersweet truth of loving in a world that doesn’t always love you back. The video - equally stunning and soul-baring- features cinematic visuals, raw emotion, and a sense of movement that echoes the tightrope metaphor embedded in the song’s core. For many queer listeners, the track feels like a mirror of identity, survival, and the longing to be seen and embraced.

Performing as Sarah Sasha, Schroeder channels a version of herself that’s both fearless and fantastical. “Sarah Sasha is the more flamboyant and expressive part of me,” she says. “While Sarah Schroeder is business-focused and grounded, Sasha is bold, uninhibited, and unafraid to take up space.” It’s this duality that allows her to explore themes of confidence, self-discovery, and sensuality with a vibrant flair.

Styling also plays a huge part in Sasha’s visual storytelling. Collaborating with stylist and fashion maven JR, Sarah embraced a high-glam, gender-fluid aesthetic that complements her music’s emotional depth. “JR was amazing to work with. I love her, and I was so happy she was part of the team,” Sarah shares.

But it’s not just the aesthetic that’s won the hearts of LGBTQ+ fans, it’s the authenticity. “The love and support from my LGBTQ+ fan base means the world to me,” she says. “They didn’t just break my music, they shaped my journey. Their strength and authenticity inspire me every single day.”

When asked if she sees herself as a queer icon in the making, Sarah doesn’t hesitate. “When I perform as Sasha, I definitely feel like I’m tapping into a part of myself that lives outside traditional norms. It’s empowering,” she says. “If that resonates with fans as a kind of inspiration, then I’m honored. Ultimately, it’s about embracing who you are and encouraging others to do the same.”

So what’s the secret message in “On The Wire” for her queer fans?

“If 'On The Wire' had a hidden meaning just for queer listeners, it would be this: even when you feel like you’re walking a tightrope, just be yourself. You’re not alone,” she says. “The song is about holding on, even when it feels like you might fall. It’s a message of hope, resilience, and it serves as a reminder that no matter how hard things get, you still deserve love, joy, and connection. And hey, you can dance your ass off to it while you heal.”
