Gifted with immensely emotional vocals, her influences are wide and far-reaching. 

Born from an Irish father and Arabic mother, she was surrounded by the turning records of her father’s jazz collection and the chant like voice of Lebanese singer Fairuz and Umm Kalthoum blaring out of her mother’s radio.

Now one of the U.K’s leading jazz vocalist, she is a regular performer at London’s prestigious Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club and the 606 Jazz Club.

Sara’s album From Shadows Into Light received five star review from Jazz Journal who said “A vocal with timeless quality” , Mojo magazine wrote ‘Enigmatic, beguiling and intensely musical’ and well known composer/Arranger Guy Barker wrote, "Her voice has all the qualities that you find in the great singers"

She is known for her interpretations of classic ballads leaving audiences spell bound as well as the energy and vigor with which she tackles the up tempo standards from the American Song Book.
