Sarah Solovay

A young and inspiring artist from New York, NY, who has been on the scene for a few years now.  "Hearts Collide" one of her singles, has been featured on the soundtrack of 90210 released in 2009. "You'll Never Know" (posted below) was featured on the MTV show I Used to Be Fat". Sarah Solovay as a music artist has also been a contestant in Radio Disney's Next Big Thing (N.B.T) contest; although she did not win, this was still a great way for her to be heard by many.
  

Sarah Solovay: "You'll Never Know"
                     




Background: Sarah began to play guitar when she was six years old, and at age nine she began to write lyrics to those songs. She currently attends high school in New York City. & she is involved in many types of art related extra curricular activity such as drawing, ceremics, painting, and taking black & white photos.

Her influences (as stated on Radio Disney's bio site for Sarah ) are Nirvana, Alannis Morrisette, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Madonna.  According to her facebook she is also influecnced by The Who & Led Zepplin just to name a few more. (Source)

As far as concerts go, she has put on small shows at places around New York City. Back in January she was performed  at Joe's Pub (that was I believe her second time performing there), before that she had opened for both John Mayer and Train, on Mayer's Battle Studies tour.


For her song "Gone" she has won The 2008 Young New York Songwriter Circle Award.  (Source)
Personality wise (although I have never met her personally, just basing this off of Her Facebook Page, and her songs) she seems like a really down to earth, witty, kind & funny person.  

So ok guys, I hope that I've given you all a great idea about this artist. I truly believe she is a musician to definitely check out...I dare you if you haven't already.
