Sabrina Walyer

Born and raised in Portland, OR, Sabrina's love of the mountainous terrain and green landscape is evident in the organic-nature of her songs. There are no superficial frills in her recordings. She has written several songs amdist the beautiful surroundings of her home-state and says she has done some of her best writing after finding those quiet places off the beaten paths near Mt. Hood or Mt. Bachelor. Sabrina left Portland for Nashville, TN when she was only eighteen to attend Belmont University. There she studied music business, and taught herself to play the guitar and write songs. It was during the summer vacations spent back home in Oregon that she began producing and recording those songs which reflected her artistic maturity.
Following graduation from Belmont, Sabrina started playing open mics and writer's nights around Nashville, including The Bluebird Cafe, Douglas Corner, and others. She was asked to sing one of her songs live on a Nashville-based radio station, which sparked listener-interest. Her war-time tribute "Desert Love Song" became popular in the military community where she played for support rally's and for family members of those serving in Iraq.
Having no desire to mold her style to that of a cookie-cutter pop-country star, Sabrina decided to move forward in her journey to find a publishing company and record label that would embrace her for who she is. That journey continues with her recent move back to the Portland area where she feels connected to the local indie folk community. Sabrina says that she will continue to write about what matters to her, and hope that her voice will be heard by an ear willing to help her up to the next step.
