Sahra's grandfather insisted that she and her brother play an instrument. Sahra did embrace the Jazz, pop and soul of her familys home.Fortunately for her fans, the ear shattering music of Bob Marley and the Wailers sparked a new interest in music for Sahra and she began to explore the musical talent that ran through her blood. Sahra would catch a fire on the active volcanic island of Hawaii, in the Jahringa Reggae Band. Jahringa an Australian Aboriginal word for dreamtime was a place where Sahra found the voice to sing about the beauty and the mysteries of life.Sahra's signature song is her debut CDs title track ‘Goods Gonna Happen’, (Olumeye Records 2003).
