'''Sasha Lazard''' is an American [[Crossover (music)|classical crossover]] singer.
Lazard was born in [[New York City]] and grew up in [[Paris]]. She attended [[Bennington College]] and the [[San Francisco Conservatory of Music]], where she studied opera, but after graduation, she pursued a more electronic-influenced sound which was inspired by the local nightclub scene.<ref>{{cite web |first=Doug |last=Elfman |title='Trance opera' singer Lazard performs at Club Utopia |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=LVRB&p_theme=lvrb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FD3942A6406624D&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |work=Las Vegas Review-Journal |date=2001-04-27 |accessdate=2010-11-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Sasha Lazard Biography |publisher=StarPluse.com |url=http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Lazard,_Sasha/Biography/}}</ref> She performed her new music at several clubs in New York, [[Los Angeles]], and [[Ibiza]] before recording an album.
