About Me
Sarah Swensen weaves empowerment and resilience into the fabric of her music with natural and undeniable talent. Her sound combines her diverse range of influences from Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera and country legends like Rascal Flatts. Mixed with her own distinctive flavor, her music captivates all who listen.
Sarah’s versatility as a songwriter shines through in her ability to write both lighthearted and sassy tunes as well as songs with strong emotional depth. Informed by her background as a Clinical Social Worker and her own struggle with mental illness, she is not afraid to address difficult conversations in her writing. By doing so, she shares a very real perspective that resonates with her listeners on a deeper level.
Her passion for music began at the young age of four when her grandmother taught her to sing the Don Gibson classic "Oh Lonesome Me”. Since then she's been carving her way into the music industry, with career highlights including singing the national anthem for the Somerset Patriots and performing in venues around Music City, such as Live Oak and Bobby’s Idle Hour. She performs with grace and authenticity, allowing her personality to shine through on stage with her dynamic, powerful vocals delivering messages straight from the heart.
Sarah's musical and lyrical skills have led her to collaborate with other songwriters on her own music as well as for other artists on Music Row. She is a quickly rising songwriter in Nashville’s music scene, with NSAI recently honoring her on their website’s “Ones to Watch” page for the month of June. Sarah certainly is one to watch - she isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
