Sarah Solovay is a New York based singer, songwriter, and high school student. Her unique music is a mix of witty lyrics and hooky melodies. Certainly her thousands of fans can attest to the fact that she brings a distinct flair to her music. Perhaps it's because this overachiever, who started playing guitar at age six and writing songs at age nine, is firmly grounded in the real world. Homework comes first, but fortunately Sarah is able to balance school, family, friends and music. "I have fun hanging with friends but I'm probably most at peace when I'm writing. The release of all my thoughts and ideas puts me in a great place." Apparently it moves many others who have heard her music and given her the chance to perform at such esteemed New York venues such as The Bitter End, Cafe Wha and Sidewalk Cafe. In addition to these shows, ASCAP invited Sarah to perform at the ASCAP CMJ Showcase at the Canal Room in NYC during the CMJ Festival in March. Sarah won The 2008 Young New York Songwriter Circle Award for her song, "Gone". Drawing influences from Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Nirvana, Alanis Morissette, and Madonna, Sarah is quickly making the industry sit up and take notice.
"All the 'industry' attention and praise is nice, but the positive response to my music from the people who hear it when I perform is what I get really excited about. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than communicating with the people who listen to my music, and to hear that they relate to my songs makes all the hard work worthwhile," Sarah says with a smile.

Although music is by far her biggest passion and high school her main obligation, Sarah manages to squeeze many other activities into her already busy schedule. She loves all things art-related, such as painting, drawing, ceramics and black and white photography, and so on. She participates in many extracurricular activities, ranging from an a cappella group to her school's student body self-government. These life experiences find their way into her songs, often in unexpected ways. To Sarah, all these activities add up to one thing: life experiences to incorporate into her songs.
From the radio friendly "Gone" and "You'll Never Know" to "Hearts Collide" and the precocious "Delight," Sarah's songs are thoughtful yet accessible. Although she has not yet released an album, her unique brand of music has started to draw a wave of followers. Sarah is determined to leave her mark on the world with music, and the best is yet to come.
