Sascha Osborn is a songwriter and performer creating reflective folk‑jazz songs shaped by love, loss, change and the quiet truths found in everyday life. Inspired by jazz harmony, soulful melody and the natural world, she draws on influences across folk, jazz and retro‑soul to express stories of relationships, lived experience and hope, sharing songs that carry atmosphere, honesty and a quiet emotional resonance.
I’m delighted to soon be sharing my new album Red, Black and Blue, a fusion of folk and jazz shaped by exciting arrangements and world‑class musicians, created through generous collaboration and quiet joy. A collection of songs exploring the marks life imprints on us, the bruises of love, loss, memory, grief and the quiet courage needed to move through change.

Half Complete
A a reflective, imagery-led song about hindsight and the clarity that comes with distance. Moving through scenes of mountain rain, open fields and distant church bells, it traces an inward journey shaped by memory and perspective. At its core is the realisation that signs were always there, small gestures and meaningful details that went unnoticed and unheard. Only with distance does the absence come into focus.
Time
This song traces the journey from silence, inertia, and fear building to empowerment and renewal. It’s about breaking free from societal expectations and “shoulds and coulds,” finding the courage to speak out, break barriers and glass ceilings. A call to say “enough is enough” and reclaim courage, self-belief, purpose, and freedom.
HALF COMPLETE
Is a reflective, imagery-led song about hindsight and the clarity that comes with distance. Understated and grounded, the song explores missed signals and the delayed recognition of what truly mattered, often only after it’s gone.
I was deeply drawn to move to this song, to physically express in response to the song I had created with producer Patrick Wood. Video directed filmed and produced by Lizzy Platt. Filmed at Pixel Studios, London.
COULD IT BE YOU
The first single from my debut album, 'Looking Out And After' which received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Scotland, BBC Radio Suffolk and extremely positive acclaim.
Unusually for myself as a songwriter, the lyrics for 'Could It Be You' were written first, one lunch time sat on a bench overlooking the River Thames, inspired by the pocket book 'Lunch Poems' by Frank O'Hara. Thereafter I wrote the music, endeavouring to reflect the sense of uncertainty and hope that comes with new found love.
The video was filmed along the River Thames on a cold winter day, produced by Jason Frost.
