about

'The Boat' is the debut album by Sasha Dawe. Introducing himself to the world, the young man from Namibia presents a legendary folk album using sounds reminiscent to old country music with an African twist. The album stands out as a classic in the modern era - through Sasha's emotive storytelling and enchanting voice, the listener is transported into beautiful worlds of reflections and revolting truths.

"A poet and storyteller at heart, Dawe speaks directly to his listener, uplifting them through illustrative verses and radiant tones." - Clash

"Sasha isn't your typical artist. He's a breath of fresh air in a scene often crowded with similar sounds, bringing to the table a mix that's as eclectic as it is captivating" - Daily Beat

"Sasha Dawe, originally from Namibia and previously known as David Stars, is making his mark in the music industry with a unique style that blends various musical genres." - By the Wavs

This is an album to leave a unique and positively insightful impression on the listeners soul. It was recorded, produced and mastered in Cape Town between Nov 2022 and April 2023.
