Over a decade after the release of her debut solo album, multi-award-winning producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Sasha Perera, aka Perera Elsewhere seamlessly integrates experimental rap, psychedelic grime, and dancefloor-oriented footwork with her distinctive avant-pop sound for what she has become known.
Her voracious appetite to 'Just Wanna Live Some', sees her borderless expressions across songs and tracks have just one thing in common - they're human, a consideration has never been more urgent.
Multi-award winning experimental pop auteur, Sasha Perera aka Perera Elsewhere is a producer, musician, songwriter and DJ who has garnered critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, BBC, FADER, Vogue, KCRW and many more.
Journeys have punctuated Perera Elsewhere’s life perspective and career, taking her from London’s vibrant club scene to Berlin’s bass experimentalist underground and forming her shapeshifting approach to music. Elsewhere, but always rooted, Perera has found herself at home in musically diverse arenas– she has toured extensively, from live shows & DJ sets at institutions such as Berghain, Guggenheim, Hamburg Philharmonic, Bahidora, Mutek, Sonar Festival and Boiler Room.
Her music has been licensed for Ava Du Vernay’s ‘Queen Sugar’ series, by Oscar winning director Paolo Sorrentino for his ‘Loro’ film and recently by Apple for the promotional launch of their faster than ever M2 chip.
A true multi-hyphenate, Perera’s open and autodidact technique is also highlighted by a long list of side releases, collaborations as well as bespoke compositions for moving image, theatre and audio- visual installations for leading global institutions such as Bass Museum Miami (2022 and ZKM in Karlsruhe (2024). She produced 4 songs for German punk icon Nina Hagen’s recent album (2023) and won ‘Best Act ’at the VIA awards 2022, the only independent award for musical innovation in Germany. Perera also won Sony Music Germany’s ‘Female Producer Award’ in 2024.
In 2026 Perera performed and played trumpet in a 7 hour piece by genre-defying and controversial Austrian performance artist / director Florentina Holzinger .
Perera’s published works and gift of the gab have led to invitations by renowned institutions such as Ableton, Native Instruments, Yale or Berlin’s University of Arts or the award-winning Errrormusic programme to share her creative knowledge via studio sessions, workshops, teaching, and mentoring.
She has also worked with the British Council and Goethe Institute as an artist and co- curator or mentor on music projects and music-tech education initiatives across Asia and Africa . She recently composed a standout 72 -min soundtrack for and performed in a Kampnagel- commissioned dance/ theatre production titled' Reparation Nation. Perera Elsewhere is clearly at home in many places.
