MUSIC INDUSTRY:

"Sarah's mentoring and support throughout my recent career has been creative and invaluable. She brings her wealth of experience and knowledge of the industry to bear with amazing suggestions and concrete advice. As a writer, Sarah’s ideas are always fresh and original; she comes prepared with lyrics, melodies and musical ideas that make the process of writing seamless. What makes her writing even more unique is the depth in her knowledge of the source (having lived through the 80's and 90's era), that a lot of artists draw from nowadays, which she sprinkles with a modern touch."

Polina Goudieva, Grammy Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter, Recording Artist (Eminem)

"Sarah as a songwriter brings so much to not only her own music, but in collaboration with others. She motivates everyone she writes with to go to where the deepest emotion and intention of the song can be fully realized together as a team. I always look forward to opportunities to write with Sarah. She creatively comes from such an inspired place, whether it be comes from personal experience or mirroring back life through her lyric. If you are a veteran songwriter, or just developing your craft, she makes a wonderful collaborator. I especially suggest new developing writers work with Sarah. You will learn so much and she will help you discover and further expand your voice as a writer."
