Early Life & Background

Originally from Sydney, Sarah’s passion for singing began at a very young age. Sarah recalls being a flower girl at a wedding at the tender age of 4, hearing a Celine Dion song and being completely mesmerised. Sarah said to her parents that she wanted to sing when she grew up and so began her journey. Throughout her schooling Sarah performed in choirs, and was selected for several soloist roles in school productions, camps, performing arts festivals and church services. At the age of 7, she was chosen to play the lead role of Snow White in a school production of the Disney classic. At 14, Sarah was asked to perform a soloist Hebrew piece for Pope Benedict XVI along with an audience of 5,000 at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney. In 2010 Sarah sat the Grade 6 Classical Singing Exam with the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. She performed traditional pieces in French and Italian, receiving praise for her mature voice, technical skill, and spellbinding delivery.

Recent Works

Sarah remained mostly silent for the next decade as she worked through a Bachelor of Laws (LLB), along with moving to Melbourne, Victoria with her husband and two young children. The COVID-19 Pandemic provided a chance for reflection and Sarah was inspired to rekindle her love for singing after living through numerous lockdowns in Melbourne. Sarah started recording covers at home throughout 2020 and has thoroughly enjoyed spreading positivity and connecting online with like-minded people.

Off the back of these home recording sessions, Sarah was chosen to be an original recording artist for the concept album ‘Treeson: An Eco-Musical’. The songs were written by U.S. Composer & Lyricist G Victoria Campbell, Ph.D. and arranged by London-based, West End Composer, Joseph Purdue. Sarah performed a solo piece; a duet with incredible Italian Artist, Daniele Alan-Carter; and in the ensemble alongside a cast of talented singers from across the world.

In 2021 after settling in to her new home in Perth, Sarah has been focusing her attention towards in-person performances, especially for local events. Recently she performed for a daycare centre in Hillarys. Dressed in costume as Princess Anna from the Disney movie ‘Frozen’, Sarah delighted the children and educators with a private performance of popular Disney songs, along with story telling and games for the children.
