About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Untitled 2

My name is Sarah Young - I am a 24 year old self-taught singer/songwriter from sunny Banbury. I have only been performing/recording for the last 3 years, I have been painfully shy to sing even in front of my own family. ............................................................ ........................................................ I have worked with up and coming indie band 'The Keyz' for about 2 years and performed at venues such as The Cavern, The Half Moon, The Clapham Grand, The Jericho Tavern and many more. The lead singer & keyboards is my brother Robin - in November 2008, The Keyz won the £15,000.00 prize from Slice The Pie to record & promote their debut album, with myself collaborating on the track 'Jack'. My 4 brothers have built a studio with every spare penny, begining at my mums little council house (still some there), sound proofing the shoe cupboard and taking over the living room for us to reherse and record all day and night. The idea behind the studio is that my oldest brother Paul - a sound engineer/producer - can record mine and my other 3 brothers music (and to keep him out of mischief!). Also, we can help out other aspiring, talented artists in our local community by recording their music (2 such bands have gone onto sign record deals with the demos produced by Paul). I worked with my brothers and my incredibly talented partner Kenny Bell - AKA REDEYE JEDI on 'More Play' as part of the collaboration 'Red Sector', more to come from that in early 2009... ............................................................ ........................................................ In August 2007, I had the great pleasure of working as a session singer for Grammy Award winning songwriter/producer Kenny Young (wrote Under The Board Walk, Ai No Corrida) along with Breakspoll breakthrough producer 2007 Rob Savage (Breakin even/Even Flow records) and Loz (Breakin Even Records) at Lazy Moon Studios..................................................... ............................................................ ''...She reminds me of a cross between Kate Nash and Joss Stone...'' - Karen Poole, Songwriter/EMI. ............................................................ .................................................... ''...We were blown away when we first heard "One Last Night" the sweet production, magical lyrics and then Sarahs quite amazing voice, we immediately contacted sarah to ask her if we could showcase her as our featured artist, and we were over the moon when she said YES.Sarah has a voice that gives a feeling of indulgement and just makes you want to melt into a warm pool of belgium chocolate. If Sarah can get a demo cd together for promotion we believe she could follow in the foot steps of the likes of Joss Stone and Katie Melua...''. - Incredible MP3 ............................................................ ........................................................
