Sarah Felicia: I always had a dream in my heart to be a professional singer, but ended up going to school for English instead, because I thought that my dream of being a singer was a long shot. After some prayer and thought, I really felt God was calling me to pursue the passion for Music and Ministry he had placed in my heart. So, in my second year of University I switched my studies to Music and Youth Ministry. I also spent a semester in Nashville, TN studying song writing and being an artist, which helped me further realize that music truly is my calling and passion.

Sarah: I really believe the songs on my EP 'Take Flight' were truly placed on my heart by the Lord to sing. An example of this is when one morning, I woke up singing this melody for a song, and God gave me the words for it soon after! It became the song 'Take me Back' which is now on my EP. Being able to write music lyrically and instrumentally has truly been a gift from God. Also, my good friend and fellow artist Cristabelle Braden produced the EP, and she had some great creative input in the production and recording process as well.

Sarah: Some artists that have influenced me musically are Bethel, All Sons and Daughters, Rend Collective, Steffany Gretzinger, and JJ Heller.

Sarah: Great question! The girl in the story doesn't necessarily represent one person specifically, but rather many people who may be going through similar things as her. When I wrote this song, God placed it on my heart to write a song about a girl who represents the world in many ways today. She goes on a quest in search of truth and some kind of fulfillment. After a time of seeking, and constantly facing disappointments from temporary fixes the world has to offer her, she realizes all that glitters may not necessarily be gold. She then discovers what she needed all along, finding redemption in Christ! It truly is a story of God's Grace, and His relentless pursuit of us, and the joy and freedom we have when we realize that!

Sarah: Something that is very important to me is that my sound remains true to who I am as an artist, and true to the melodies God places in my heart. My style is a blend of folk, pop, acoustic and contemporary worship - all of which I take creative influences from, while still keeping my own fresh unique sound.

Sarah: I usually play live shows at open mics, restaurants, coffee shops, and churches - wherever I can really! Right now, my goal is to play in a variety of local, nationwide, and international performances. I'm also currently leading worship at my church, which is a huge part of my heart!

Sarah: I've been reading a lot from the Book of Psalms. I find a lot of inspiration for my songs from there as well. The psalms are so relatable, and so inspiring, and real, and I think it's also really awesome that David was a musician, and songwriter as well!

Sarah: I would love to write a song with Steffany Gretzinger. I love her heart of Worship, and her surrender, and love for God is so evident as she leads worship. I also really like her music! Me being a new Artist, and worship leader as well, I feel like she's someone I could relate to in certain ways, and learn from too!

Sarah: A big thank you for this opportunity to share my thoughts, and to share who I am as an artist! Also my prayer is that this EP would truly 'Take Flight' and minister to many hearts, and encourage, and inspire many people through Christ as he draws them close to Him, through His gift of music. :)
