Sarah Khatami is a singer/songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Sarah’s upbringing was a diverse fusion of cultural influences, from her older sisters’ collection of R&B/pop music, to her parents’ collection of traditional and contemporary Persian music. Today, Sarah’s unique style merges elements of R&B, soul, and jazz, highlighted by complex vocal arrangements, expressed in both English and Farsi.
In the lyrical tapestry of her songs, Sarah weaves narratives that explore the multifaceted layers of the human condition. From tales of love and heartbreak to reflections on identity and injustice, her music serves as a poignant mirror to society's collective experiences. With a keen eye for storytelling and a soulful voice that resonates with honesty and vulnerability, Sarah illustrates her songwriting prowess through her ability to intertwine diverse subjects, inviting her audience to explore a rich landscape of emotions and experiences.
Sarah attended high school at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in Midland, PA, and, upon graduating, received an annual full-tuition scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Sarah has performed with internationally celebrated Iranian-Armenian singer, Andy, and has played many notable venues across the United States and Europe. Her debut album, “stalemate,” is out now.
