Sarah Stark’s powerhouse vocals and soulful songs are not to be missed. Her lyrics are heartbreakingly candid, and her melodies are hard to keep out of your head. She exhibits the same vulnerability and confidence as artists like and Jessie Reyez (listen to her latest single “On My Mind”) and a production style reminiscent of Billie Eilish, which can easily be heard on her 2021 single, “Ghost.” Stark says that these women inspire her, not only through their musicality, but “general badassery.” She says she used to be dragged down because of her spunk and sass, but now she uses it as her superpower.

Stark was chosen as one of five winners in the 2020 Canadian Songwriter Challenge with writing partner Nicky Mackenzie, as well as placing in the top 10 in the FlairXL February singing competition.
