Rising country artist Dasha has been named Amazon Music’s latest Breakthrough Artist, marking a significant step in her growing career.

The announcement was made during Variety’s Power of Women: Nashville event, where Dasha performed a dynamic live version of Gretchen Wilson’s “Here for the Party,” a track she has also released as part of an Amazon Music Original. This performance follows her successful appearance at Stagecoach, where she thrilled the crowd on the Mane Stage with the same hit.

In an interview with Variety, Dasha expressed her gratitude for Amazon Music’s support, calling it “a dream come true.” She credited the platform for helping her gain exposure, noting the importance of having her music heard by a wider audience. “Amazon Music champions breaking the mold and being unapologetic with your art,” she said, adding that being named Breakthrough Artist felt surreal, especially considering the talented artists who came before her, such as Chappell Roan and Bailey Zimmerman.

Dasha, 25, first gained major attention last year with her viral hit “Austin,” which made it into the country airplay top 10 after becoming a streaming sensation. Her live performances, like at Stagecoach, have further cemented her position in the country music scene. She is also known for her duality in songwriting, as seen with her contrasting tracks “Here for the Party” and “Not at This Party.” While the former is an anthem for having a good time, the latter explores feelings of social disconnection, showcasing her emotional range.

With Amazon Music’s backing, Dasha plans to expand her audience further. She’s set to join major tours with artists like Dylan Scott and Thomas Rhett and is currently working on her sophomore album, slated for release later this year. The support from Amazon Music will include tailored content, marketing campaigns, and visibility across playlists and programming, helping Dasha continue her journey in the country music world.
