Sara Azriel is an eclectic songwriter whose music combines the universality of pop, the sincerity of folk, and the richness of soul music.  She displays an emotionalism in her vocal performance that is known for inducing tears and shivers.

Born and raised on the shores of Lake Michigan into a large musical family, Sara Azriel has criss-crossed the country pursuing her music. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Azriel moved to Los Angeles, playing venues such as Hotel Cafe and the Knitting Factory and teaching piano and voice lessons to celebrities and industry families. Her music has been performed and broadcast internationally.

Sara’s self-titled EP released in 2013 was mixed by Grammy-Award winning mix engineer James M. Wisner (Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake) and includes musical, writing and production contributions from Davy Nathan (Christina Aguilara, Toni Braxton), and Andrew ‘Moon’ Bain (Snoop Dogg, Major Lazer).

Now based in rural Rhode Island, Sara is writing her first full-length record, and recently accepted a position at Berklee College of Music as Assistant Professor of Voice.
