Background

Alexandra Artourovna Yatchenko[1] grew up outside of Boston and taught herself to play on a piano her mother purchased when she was five.[7] Her grandparents lived in Siberia, Russia, and she spent summers on their farm there as a child.[5] When Sloan was nineteen, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a songwriter; she worked at a coffee shop to support herself.[7] She made her US national TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on February 6, 2019.[8]

Career

2015–2017: Beginnings

In 2015, Sloan was featured in the song "Phoenix" by Kaskade, as well as being credited for songwriting. Sloan continued her career by writing for artists including Idina Menzel, Maggie Lindemann and Camila Cabello. In 2017, Sloan was featured in the song "This Town" by Kygo, which she also cowrote.

2018: Sad Girl and Loser

Her debut EP, Sad Girl, was released by RCA on April 18, 2018.[9]

Her second EP, Loser, was released by RCA on November 29, 2018.[10] On the same day, she announced her first headlining tour to support the album. Her single "Older" from the album was performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on February 6, 2019.

2019–present: Self-Portrait

Sloan released her third EP Self-Portrait on October 18, 2019. She stated that "this EP is more about being OK with the fact that I have a lot of anxiety, and that I don’t want to go to parties."[11]

On April 3, 2020, Sloan released "I'll Wait" produced by Kygo for his upcoming album Golden Hour. The following day, a music video was released starring American couple Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek containing personal footage of their life together.[12]
