Bio
Sarah always knew she wanted a career in music. After she had a taste of performing in various theatres she realized the passion she found in singing and writing would be what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
Sarah started to learn the piano at 10 years old and would sit endlessly learning different material and composing songs. Soon after she began to take vocal coaching lessons and flourished with the new knowledge she was taught and was eager to progress to new levels.
3 years later at 15 years old Sarah began performing to audiences professionally and did various session singing jobs for Major Artists in the UK including pop group sensation S Club 7 and S Club Juniors. She was also lucky enough to be a support act for the Motown legend ‘Jimmy Ruffin’ and eighties pop Eurovision winners ‘Bucks Fizz’ on their UK tour. After 6 years developing her craft she was awarded the ‘Best Female Vocalist’ throughout South Yorkshire.
'Petite, blonde and well dressed, Sarah is the female vocalist category winner and proud as punch she was too. Vocally distinctive, Sarah is an artist who managed to leave a more than favourable impression after a slick and memorable set.'

Whilst Sarah was performing to audiences across the UK professionally she also trained to become a vocal coach so she could use her talent and knowledge to help other singers develop their vocal skills. She was constantly working with different producers writing and recording her own new material.
In 2009 Sarah decided to move to London to further her music career and it was there she was introduced to top music producer Laurence Woo Allen
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Woo_Allen).
They began working together and Sarah’s career has gone from strength to strength. She now has a huge collection of songs and can write in all different genres.
Sarah's passion has always been Country music. After being greatly influenced over the years by Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, Keith Urban and Martina Mcbride (to name a few) she found she could express herself more when she wrote and sang country music. This was where her heart belonged and it always came so naturally. Sarah's dream was to get to Nashville TN. She studied the Nashville music scene and continued writing and recording new country music with Laurence.
Sarah has recently finished writing and recording a collection of her Country/ Pop songs. She has also made a music video to one of the songs "Long Road Home" which is already gaining huge responses on YouTube. Sarah has recently returned from New York and is heading out to Nashville in Sept 2012.
Sarah also recently became a semi-finalist in the '2011 UK Song Writing Competition' with her song 'Superhero' and beat thousands of applicants to reach that position. The International competition has over thousands of entries from all parts of the world and it is the favourite songwriting event of many writers from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Asia and Europe.
The UKSC judges include many top industry names like top producer Stuart Epps, BRIT Award winning producer, songwriter and musical director Simon Ellis and the legendary producer, musical director and arranger Richard Niles.
