Born and raised in Ireland, Sarah began writing songs at the age of 12. She began singing professionally at 13 in her Dad's band. By 14 she had established herself as a singer-songwriter, winning the National 2FM song contest in 1997. She also represented Ireland in The Song Contest for Young People in Europe (S.C.Y.P.E.) where she took second place. Several Live TV performances followed and she signed a development with EMI Ireland before the age of 15.
At the age of 18 Sarah and her family moved to Spain where she performed regularly in bars and nightclubs. Now based in Miami, Sarah has had the pleasure of working with many talented musicians including Jon Secada and Shakira. Her debut album was recorded at Cutting Cane Studios in Miami and produced by Grammy Award-winning producers Tim Mitchell (Shakira), George Noriega (Ricky Martin) and Jodi Marr (Mika). Sarah describes her style as a blend of acoustic pop, traditional Irish music and sultry vocals.
