Greetings & Welcome!
My name is Sasha Pak.
I come from a 3rd generation Korean family in Sakhalin Island, Russia.
Singing and music have been my long time passion, which has now turned into my profession as well. I performed with a number of orchestras and bands in Russia, participated in various singing competitions and choirs. Through the years, I have continuously honed the understanding and mastery of my voice. The great thing about it is that it’s a life-long journey. Indeed, my personal motto is to “Never stop learning”, not only in music but in life as a whole.
I have lived in several countries including Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Norway, South Korea and my native Russia. I haven’t really counted all the countries I’ve travelled to, but it’s a fair number too. If you are organising a trek to one of the poles, let me know ;)
Learning new languages and cultures is one of my favourite pastimes. Apart from Russian and English, I can converse in Spanish, French and Korean with a varying degree of fluency.
In 2018, I left my job at a Silicon Valley tech company and have been earning my living through singing since.
Through my song repertoire, I combine my varied background, passion for music, different cultures and travelling.
These days, you can catch me performing at the iconic locations of cities like London and Sydney. I love the impromptu and chance nature of performing on the street. I also perform at private and corporate functions, arts and music festivals.
In my spare time, I learn new songs, continue honing my singing and performance skills, immerse myself into the science and practice of well-being and positive psychology.
In addition to music, I take interest in history and politics, and have a masters degree from one of the world’s leading business schools.
My Repertoire
I take pleasure in combining different genres and languages in my song choice.
In total, I have now over 200 songs in my repertoire which can be broadly broken down into:
Classical crossover and opera (e.g. Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Sarah Brightman, Il Divo)
Jazz standards (e.g. Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Bobby Darrin)
Musicals and musical theatre (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s creations, Les Miserables, The Greatest Showman)
Pop and popular world classics in English, Russian, Italian, French, Spanish and Korean
For those of you curious about the voice classification, I’d personally classify my voice as a high baritone with some crossover into the tenor territory.

Thank you for your wonderful performance at our wedding.
It was exactly how I imagined it.
I am so happy we chose you!

Experience
I have experience performing at private and corporate functions as well as festivals and events big and small:
From special occasions celebrating intimate family anniversaries to beautifully arranged wedding ceremonies
From largest arts festivals such as Adelaide Fringe to open air concerts in most scenic locations including Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden in London and Hyde Park in Sydney
I love challenging the established boundaries and combining classical operatic arias, jazz standards and popular world classics in different languages in my repertoire.
