Sarah’s journey as a musician began at a young age, starting with piano at three and violin at nine.

Although she attended the University of Georgia for violin, Sarah ultimately completed her doctorate in clinical forensic psychology in 2010, all while never abandoning her love for songwriting. After the pandemic hit, Sarah worked in-person at nursing homes, enduring twelve-hour days, seven days a week, for months. During this time, she faced the heartbreak of losing up to ten patients a day to Covid-19. It was through this profound experience, in the face of such loss and darkness, that Sarah felt a renewed urgency to make music. She realized that there was no better time than now to create, using music to find light in the darkest of times. Her music, shaped by these experiences, continues to evolve, drawing from her rich past and deep emotional well of resilience.

Sarah’s music explores the delicate nature of the human experience, tackling themes of gender, love, sex, and depression with raw honesty. With her Southern charm and a dose of “soccer mom” determination, she blends genres ranging from bluegrass fiddle to ethereal folk-pop. Her latest album is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms, with singles like "Come Over" and "Cottagecore Lesbian Daydream" already out. You can purchase her singles on Bandcamp and connect with her on social media.
