Sasha Calle was born with a passion for performing and loved to show it as a child. She drew her first breath in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 12, 1992, where she lived until she was ten.

The actress relocated to Colombia with her mom in 2002 but returned to the U.S. two years later. After graduating high school in Hollywood, Florida, she enrolled at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performing Arts.

Before she went to pursue acting, Calle loved singing and could not get enough of Disney's "High School Musical." While in high school, she took performing one of the movie's songs so seriously that she dressed like Gabriella Montez, a role played by Vanessa Hudgens.
