Life

Sayed Sabrina, is an enduring talent, a local legend, a petite powerhouse with a distinct sensuality and sense of humor. If you have ever seen her perform it is hard to forget and equally hard to describe. In the old school style of Jazz, Blues and Classic Rock greats, Sabrina's shows are mesmerizing. Her vocal projection is matched by her lively interactions with her audiences. Sabrina's unique sense of style brings a spirited diversity to the powerful voice that has been her trademark for so many years. Born and raised in Los Angeles, the product of Scotch/Irish and Fijian/Pakastani parents, her influences and style reflect her unique, yet eclectic versatile style. She has been compared to vocalist legends before her time: Billie Holiday, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner and Judy Garland. In an era where sometimes the heart and soul of good music seems only to exist in the past, Sayed Sabrina reminds us that inspiration never dies and that much of the beauty and tradition of yesterday is still here for us to enjoy. Named one of the Top 100 Unsigned Female Artists in the US by Omnia Music Magazine. Take the time to listen and enjoy something too unique to find just anywhere.

Her voice has been described as powerful, unforgettable and haunting; her style compared to that of legendary greats ranging from Billy Holiday to Janis Joplin. And yet Sayed Sabrina is modest of her own abilities. When questioned, this unassuming songstress with the thick head of hair and impish grin remains humble of her gospel fused talents.
