Background
Originally from Santa Monica, California, Sarah spent her
younger years in Oregon. Her parents loved music and it is there that
Sarah was introduced to the artists that still inspire her today. Echoing
through the house on any given day would be The Beatles, The Rolling
Stones, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, and
Stevie Wonder. Sarah started singing in front of complete strangers and
quickly found out that she loved singing no matter who was around.
After a few years the family moved back to Los Angeles, California. It was
there that Sarah was about to hit the stage for the very first time. At
the age of eight, Sarah's mother took her to a local musical theatre for
an audition.
"I quickly discovered that performing was in my soul and it was what
I wanted to spend my life doing."
Singing and acting seem to come very natural to her. A well-respected
adult actor in the group took special interest in her performances and
suggested she meet with his management team. She did, and within weeks,
Sarah was appearing on "Who's the Boss", "The Wonder
Years", "Family Ties", as well as others. Sarah juggled her
newfound love of acting while in junior high school. In between studying
and keeping her grades up, Sarah would still find the time to make
auditions and acting workshops. When Sarah was thirteen she got a job at a
recording studio. It was a place where people off of the street could come
in and record their favorite artists' hit songs and take a cassette copy
home with them.
" I worked the front desk for awhile and then I was trained to
engineer the sessions. At night I would engineer my own sessions, push the
record button and then run into the booth to make sure I was there in time
for my first note."
Sarah practiced constantly, singing songs by artists that challenged her
vocally and who she admired, thus recording almost every Whitney Houston
and Mariah Carey song she could get her hands on. Quickly after that, she
started working with producers such as, Missy Elliott and Timbalind
singing background vocals for many well known artists such as Toni Braxton,
Nancy Wilson and Jodeci just to name a few.
Throughout the years Sarah has become an amazing singer/songwriter and
continues to sing from her soul. She has been making a splash on the L.A.
scene with her captivating stage presence and undeniable vocal ability.
Sarah's sold out shows at The Mint, The Roxy, The Cinegrill, The famous
Whiskey A Go Go, and Pro Jam at Barfly, have resulted in a loyal and
loving following of fans.
