Amazon Music has officially named Dasha as its latest Breakthrough Artist during the Power of Women: Nashville event, held on April 29, 2025. This announcement comes as Dasha prepares for her Mane Stage debut at the iconic Stagecoach festival, where she recently released an Amazon Music Original cover of Gretchen Wilson’s hit "Here for the Party."
Michelle Tigard Kammerer, Head of Country Music at Amazon Music, expressed her admiration for Dasha, stating, "We’ve long been fans of Dasha at Amazon Music. She’s a true presence in country, unafraid to be herself, ruffle some feathers and make some of the most undeniable music at the intersection of pop and country in recent memory. We look forward to helping make her creative vision a reality. We’ll see you all in Dashville, U.S.A."
Dasha, who has been making waves in the country-pop scene, shared her excitement about being selected for the Breakthrough program. "I feel incredibly honored to be selected for Amazon Music’s Breakthrough program. I’ve got big plans for my fans, and it’s great to have the team at Amazon Music helping to make those plans a reality," she said. "Amazon Music has really embraced me and my creativity and we’re working on putting together things I’ve been wanting to do since day one. Stay tuned."
Amazon Music’s Breakthrough program aims to support emerging artists by amplifying new talent and assisting them in crucial moments of their careers. The program collaborates with artists to develop customized global plans tailored to their unique needs.
As Dasha gears up for her performance at Stagecoach, she reflects on her journey leading up to the festival. "I've worked so hard these past few weeks to prepare a set that, from start to finish, had so much intention — from the intro to the visuals and each song we picked to perform," she stated. "Everyone likes to think they know who I am, but this felt like the first time I got to really show a huge audience who Dasha is."
Her debut performance, held on April 26, 2025, was a significant milestone for Dasha. She described the experience as feeling more like a Broadway musical than a typical festival show. "It’s been a beautiful kind of chaos lately," she admitted, emphasizing the importance of staying present and celebrating her accomplishments.
To prepare for her performance, Dasha has a unique festival packing strategy. "First thing in the bag? My in-ears. Non-negotiable," she noted, humorously adding that she checked for them multiple times. Snacks are also a crucial part of her festival gear. "People always joke about how many snacks I carry, but hey, I'm not trying to get hangry before walking on stage," she said.
When it comes to her festival style, Dasha pulled out all the stops with a custom outfit designed in collaboration with VS PINK. She described her look as equal parts country and cool, showcasing her confident and bold personality. "This look is so me; it's country, it's cute, and it's got that little flirty edge with the bedazzled chaps," she explained.
Her three-word festival style mantra? "Cuntry, bold, and confident." With a packed schedule at Stagecoach, Dasha embraced the chaos of the weekend. "Normally, my days are super structured — workouts, writing sessions, rehearsals. But Stagecoach weekend? Total whirlwind. It was all about performing, running into friends and fans, and just having the absolute best time," she shared.
As part of her preparations, Dasha also shared some of the essentials she packed for the festival. Her must-have items include:
