| A voice and harpsichord major at UCSC, Sarah's fascination and passion for world music led her to Japan and India where she studied Japanese harp (Okoto) with Sawako Fukuhara in Kyoto and became inspired by world beat and electronica music of Ofra Haza, Orb and the Cocteau Twins. Eager to explore the musical traditions of India, Sarah stayed with a generations old family of singers and tabla players in Udaipur, India. She studied ghazals and filmis with Aziz Khan Jaipuri and performed nightly in local venues such as Laxmi Vilas Palace Hotel. Sarah continued performing ghazals and filmi music for Indian, Pakistani and Afghani audiences in the United States. She was subsequently recognized by the Indian music industry when she became semifinalist onthe hit music show SAREGAMA hosted by Sonu Nigam during its international taping in New York with Hariharan, Alla Mallu Mani and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan as judges. Sarah was the singer/co-writer of "Remembering the Future" with virtuoso guitarist Angel Romero for his album "Remembering the Future" on RCA Victor. She sang an Indian style a capella intro for Grammy nominated jazz composer Rob Mullins' "Dance for the New World" on Warner Brothers. Explorations into the Asian Underground led to the "Tommy" award winning multimedia performance "Continuums" with Jonathan Gage in which she sang in Japanese and played koto. Sarah's debut CD "Human" produced and co-written by Grammy nominee Rob Mullins is a blend of East Indian, pop, jazz, dance and R&B. At home singing in many languages, in a variety of musical genres, Sarah sees music as a place for people to come together and discover cross cultural understanding as well as exploring our desire for romantic and divine love. |
