Sarah’s role model and musical inspiration is Taylor Swift. She loves her music and loves the fact that Taylor Swift writes most of the lyrics correlated to her personal experiences. She followed her from the beginning of her career. Sarah finds the extensive transformation Taylor made in her music as something incredible and admirable.

For Sarah, a world with no music is dull. Sarah finds comfort in music. She turns to music when in need to express her happy and sad moments. Music heals pain, gives you motivation, hope and positive energy. Music takes you to special instants in life, people you have met, places you have visited and emotions you have experienced. Harry Styles, one of her male idols, expressed exactly what she thinks and feels about music That’s the amazing thing about music: there’s a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck. Sarah thinks that people unite and the world changes only through music and lyrics. Music produces a vibe which the human being simply cannot do without.

One of Sarah’s top dreams is to represent Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest. She was a finalist in the 2016 edition and will definitely remember this special experience because it’s one step closer to her all-time aspiration and because she has co-written the lyrics and worked with her dream team Dj Toby Farrugia and Pamela Bezzina. She hopes that this experience will give her the exposure and skills needed to continue working in this industry as well as prominence and success in Malta and abroad.

Sarah’s message is: Always dream and believe in yourself. Unfortunately life is a bumpy road with a lot of highs and lows. Enjoy and appreciate every little moment as if it were your last. Try and live life to the full. Do not let fear abolish your dreams. If you really want it, then do anything possible to achieve it. I know that words are easier said than done, because I too struggle to keep up with them sometimes, but nothing comes easy in life.
