Bio - Sarah Lawton
Sarah always knew she wanted a career in music. After she had a taste of performing in various theatres she realized the passion she found in singing and writing would be what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
Sarah started to learn the piano at 10 years old and would sit endlessly learning different material and composing songs. Soon after she began to take vocal coaching lessons and flourished with the new knowledge she was taught and was eager to progress to new levels.
3 years later at 15 years old Sarah began performing to audiences professionally and did various session singing jobs. She was also lucky enough to be a support act for the Motown legend ‘Jimmy Ruffin’ and eighties pop Eurovision winners ‘Bucks Fizz’ on their UK tour. After 6 years developing her craft she was awarded the ‘Best Female Vocalist’ throughout South Yorkshire.
'Petite, blonde and well dressed, Sarah is the female vocalist category winner and proud as punch she was too. Vocally distinctive, Sarah is an artist who managed to leave a more than favourable impression after a slick and memorable set.'

Whilst Sarah was performing to audiences across the UK she was also working with different producers writing and recording her own material.
In 2009 Sarah decided to move to London to further her music career and it was there she was introduced to top music producer Laurence Woo Allen
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Woo_Allen).
They began working together and Sarah’s career has gone from strength to strength. She now has a huge collection of songs and can write in all different genres. She has worked with other producers in LA and France and is always writing new, fresh material.
Sarah recently became a semi-finalist in the '2011 UK Song Writing Competition' with her song 'Superhero' and beat thousands of applicants to reach that position. The International competition has over thousands of entries from all parts of the world and it is the favourite songwriting event of many writers from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Asia and Europe.
The UKSC judges include many top industry names like top producer Stuart Epps (Elton John, Robbie Williams, Led Zeppelin, Bill Wyman, Paul Weller, Oasis), BRIT Award winning producer, songwriter and musical director Simon Ellis (S Club 7, Britney Spears) and the legendary producer, musical director and arranger Richard Niles (Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue, Boy Zone, Take That, Mariah Carey, Cliff Richard).
Sarah is currently working on a major Country/Pop project for Nashville TN and is going over there early 2012 when the project is complete and after shooting a new music video.
She is also performing her new song 'Long Road Home' at a music festival in India in February which is being organised by the owners of Twitter, Facebook and Spotify.
