After the Show[]
Since the show, Sarah has focused on her songwriting skills, writing and recording in Nashville, Los Angeles and Miami. Not limited to one genre, she has collaborated with renowned musicians and songwriters from different latitudes and perspectives, which has helped her create and develop her own style, not only in songwriting, but also in her musical production and sound.
“Over the past few years I have had the chance to sign with different record labels - but I held off, hoping for that perfectopportunity. My patience paid off when the perfect opportunity came by way of Cash Money Records,” says Sarah. “I cannot think of a better way to introduce myself to the music industry than to sign to the most powerful and influential independent label in the music industry. The chance to work with Birdman and Slim and have access to their professional team and resources is both a dream and a reward.”
