Sasha Sökol (born June 17, 1970) is a Mexican singer, composer, actress, and TV host. She has sold over 6 million albums worldwide.

Biography

When Sasha was still a toddler, her parents (Michael "Happy" Sokol and Magdalena Cuillery) divorced and her mother married billionaire Fernando Diez Barroso, an executive of Televisa and one of the richest men in Mexico. From that moment her name changed to Sasha Diez because Diez Barroso legally adopted her. She studied at the Colegio Peterson and later at the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) of Televisa. At that time, music and television producer Luis de Llano Macedo was seeking to create a Mexican version of the band Parchís, and Sasha held castings at the CEA.
Sasha has one older brother named Michel Sokol Cuilleri, a half-brother named Taylor Sokol, a half-sister Ashley Sokol, and two step-sisters: Alexandra and Ximena Diez Barroso.

Timbiriche

Sasha was selected as one of the original seven members and that is how she started her singing career in 1981. Sasha recorded seven albums with Timbiriche, which earned 25 gold albums and ten platinum albums. Timbiriche earned awards from El Heraldo and the TVyNovelas Awards. In 1984, with Timbiriche, Sasha participated in Vaselina as Sandy, the Spanish language version of Grease. In 1986, she left Timbiriche and moved to Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. to continue her acting studies.

Solo career

In 1987, Sasha enrolled at the Walnut Hill School for the Performing Arts. Later that year, she launched a solo career with a self-titled album, Sasha (1987). Her first single was "No Me Extraña Nada", which was released with a music video. She was nicknamed "La dama de negro" (The Lady in Black) for her habit of dressing in that colour.

In 1988, she released the maxi-single "Diamante", which was chosen as the theme song for the music magazine Eres. In 1988, she also launched a television career with the series Tres Generaciones (TV Show) (Three Generations), starring Carmen Montejo and Angélica María.

In 1989, she recorded a song titled "Detrás del Amor" for the compilation album Nos vamos de vacaciones, which also featured Alejandra Guzmán and Alix Bauer (another ex-Timbiriche). She also released her second album, Trampas de luz, that year.

In 1990, she recorded the song "Amor amor" for the compilation album Juntos ayer y hoy, and the song "Noche de ronda" for the compilation album El estudio de Lara.

In 1991, Sasha Sokol released her third album, Siento, and appeared in the Mexican soap opera Alcanzar una estrella II. It was a tremendous hit and the musical group from the telenovela, called Muñecos de papel (Paper Dolls), released two soundtrack albums with music from the series. Muñecos De Papel had such success that it went on a national tour throughout Mexico and was nominated as "Revelation of the Year" at the second annual awards show Premios Eres, and won the coveted honor. In 1992, Sashs released her fourth solo album, Amor sin tiempo.

From the late 80s to the early 90s, Sasha was among the most popular singers in Mexico and Latin America. Her most successful album has been her first ona, Sasha (1987). At that time, she was considered the top female pop icon in Mexico, and her style was imitated by hordes of teenagers throughout Mexico, and led to the release of her own jewellery line and a perfume labelled Fama.

In 1993, Sasha put her career on hold and put herself in rehab for cocaine addiction. Months later, she formally made statements to the Mexican media about her drug addiction and rehabilitation. She publicly apologized to her fans for her disappearance and for all the rumours that were brought forth while out of the spotlight.

In 1997, she returned to the music scene with an album titled 11:11. Right before she started a 1998 tour titled 11:11 acústico (11:11 Acoustic), which was to take place throughout the Mexican Republic and certain countries in Central and South America, but her international tour was cancelled because of her mother's hospitalization and eventual death.

In 1998, Sasha joined all original founding members of the Mexican pop group Timbiriche in an international tour, and they recorded a double album titled El concierto.

In 2004, she returned once again to the music scene, after a long absence, with the album Por un amor. This album is distinct to her fans as it is not of the pop music genre, but one that belongs to the traditional Mexican music genre, rancheras.

In 2005, Sokol participated in the reality show Big Brother VIP and won the grand prize. As of 2005, she has earned eleven gold albums, four platinum albums and one diamond album in her solo career.

In 2006, she recorded the song "No encuentro un momento pa' olvidar" with Spanish singer Miguel Bosé.

In 2007, she joined the original founding members of Timbiriche (bar Paulina Rubio because of international solo tour) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the group. In 2010, the same six founding members of Timbiriche went on tour again.
