About Me


Since joining the city of Sheffield Young Choirs at around 9 years old, Sara's highlights to date include: being a featured soloist both in the UK and several european countries; being involved with projects stretching across the world; writing and releasing her own EP of music; a successful three and a half years of performing her own songs with various outfits, ranging from just herself, to a full band, back to an acoustic partnership spanning over 7 years.Self taught on guitar, and soon gaining in skill on other instruments, Sara effectively arranges around her main strength of vocal melody and harmonies.

"I started taking musical endeavors a lot more seriously than before when a lengthy illness meant i didnt have much to do! In that time i've taken to songwriting, and some of the tunes on here are the results."

The lyrics and music of Exposed are so well matched: a moving and memorable song of experience. elfie martin

After a lengthy break recovering from serious illness, followed by getting married and sorting out her house she is now firmly rooted back into the sheffield music scene where she is gaining in popularity as an acoustic artist and making the first steps towards taking this further afield. .
Current tracks up here are all of Sara's acoustic self penned songs and are of demo quality.
Sara is also looking to become more involved with her first love - creating harmonies, and as such is avaliable as a backing singer/harmonic vocalist, boasting over 12 years of experience and an innate talent, she can sing almost any style, (examples avaliable on request) and will work with you to get the best results for your project.


She is also looking for the right band/outfit to become a 2nd vocalist/backing singer for on a more than session basis - if either of these tickle your fancy, then do get in touch!
Comments and constructive criticism (and offers of gigs, or just to go sing along somewhere!) are always appreciated and Sara can be reached by sending a message to this myspace. Real life contact details are avaliable on request.
