About Me


Sarah Wheeler is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter who plays the guitar, piano, mandolin, and also writes, sings, and produces her own music. After writing her first song at the age of 13 ("Melancholy Melody" from her album Child of Tuesday), the southern California native found that she couldn't stop; soon she began performing at neighborhood block parties and charity events.
After spending many months learning how to record her music at her makeshift home studio, Sarah taught herself how to play the piano. The end product of all of this learning was her first album, Child of Tuesday, most of which was written and recorded when Sarah was just 16 years old. Released in January of 2005 both as a free download and as a limited CD pressing of 100 copies, the album's simple, acoustic approach was well-received by both fans and critics alike. Its raw emotiveness and stripped-down arrangements garnered such praise as "a very confident debut that shows a very versatile artist who is capable of going very far" (Collected Sounds.com). Her song "Lion King" stayed in the Top 40 charts on Soundclick.com for over 18 months.
Sarah is currently starting the recording process on her second album, currently untitled. It will feature a wider variety of instruments with only a portion of the angst found on Child of Tuesday. It will be self-released under her label, Doubleyew Records, in 2007.
