“Poesy is the type of musician that has an infatuation with all types of art and to display that love she wrote a short story to accompany her music. She then passed that story off to some her of talented visual artists to create a visual representation of the emotions felt from reading the story without ever hearing the music.” - ThisIsMyExperience
“The first to lead the evening is London’s own Poesy, a solo act consisting of Sarah Botelho, who shook the rooftops with her whimsical and heartfelt lyrics complemented by her poignant vocals and soft keystrokes.” - London Fuse
“If you’re a fan of London Grammar, Lana Del Rey or Florence + the Machine, you may like the promise that POESY brings to the table.” - Indie Underground

Bio
Musical inspiration came to Sarah Botelho at only 9 years old when she
wrote her first song about how heartbroken she was when she found out Santa
wasn’t real. Since then, she’s come a long way, eventually settling up in the
alternative indie world of music under the name POESY – an archaic word for
poetry and callback to her time as an English + Creative Writing major at
Western University. POESY is the type of musician that has an infatuation with
all types of art and to display that love she wrote a short story to accompany
each track on her debut EP: The Spotless
Mind. She then passed that story off to some her of talented visual artists to
create a visual representation of the emotions felt from reading the story
without ever hearing the music. Her influences are widespread, including the
likes of Freddie Mercury, Katy Perry, Florence Welch, Kurt Cobain, and Stevie
Nicks. With her piano skills in her pocket, she dabbles with anything she can
get her hands on – guitar, ukulele, you name it – in order to make the
cathartic music she does.
Currently, POESY has been playing in the GTA (The Drake Hotel, Mod Club, Lee’s Palace) and is
working on a new multimedia project – a photo series/album showcasing LGBTQ people’s stories and
experiences. She hopes to release it this upcoming summer.
