With a degree in film scoring from Berklee College of Music ('11), Sarah De Vallière crafts lush soundscapes for her songs, which explore the complexities of the human experience. A natural storyteller, her carefully crafted lyrics and catchy, moving melodies create undeniably unique and impactful songs. Her critically acclaimed 2019 release, "Dreams On Hold" (described by CITY Newspaper as "an enthralling Americana storybook"), established her as a significant voice in modern singer-songwriter music, earning comparisons to artists like Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin, and Tori Amos. Her latest album, “The Healing,” is an even more expansive and ambitious project, showcasing her diverse musical background, technical expertise and visceral vulnerability. Featuring noted musicians Damon Grant (Mary J. Blige, Eric Hutchinson), Alex Cotè (Mikaela Davis), Kurt G. Johnson (Maybird, Mikaela Davis, Moho Collective), and members of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, “The Healing” was praised by Ground Control Magazine as “one of the most beautiful albums heard in a long time.” Her songs have received radio play across America and beyond.
