Sasha Alex Sloan Is Writing Hits for the Biggest Pop Stars—And She Just Started
The music school dropout behind Cabello, Charli, and Rodrigo tracks is rewriting what it means to make it in pop.

Sasha Alex Sloan never finished music school, but she's already got the resume of someone who did. The songwriter's been in the room co-writing with some of the biggest names in pop right now—Camila Cabello, Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo—and she's barely getting warmed up.
That's the kind of trajectory that usually comes with pressure. The industry wants you to keep hitting. Everyone's watching. You start second-guessing yourself. But Sloan's flipped that script. She's talking about a new mindset: treating this like it's actually supposed to feel good. Making music that matters without letting the fear machine run the show.
It's a simple thing to say and a hard thing to live by in an industry built on anxiety and proving yourself over and over. But when you're already writing hits for the artists defining pop right now, maybe you've earned the right to lighten up and remember why you started in the first place.
