Dasha Returns: Success, Manifestation, and Shotgunning

Singer-songwriter Dasha is back for her second time on the Spout Podcast, and this time, things get a little... bubbly. Host Erik Zachary catches up with her just as she’s gearing up to drop her latest album, diving into the whirlwind year she’s had—from winning Female Song of the Year at the People’s Choice Country Awards to her induction into the Grand Ole Opry’s Next Stage Class of 2025. Dasha opens up about her creative process, why she sees herself in the third person when manifesting success, and how she balances the worlds of country and pop. Plus, she reflects on her viral rise with “Austin,” teaching Erik a line dance (with a shot in hand), and why genres might not be as rigid as people think. Oh, and about that shotgun attempt… well, let’s just say some skills are better left undeveloped. Listen in as Dasha and Erik go from laughs to deep creative insights in an episode that proves she’s only just getting started. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
