Her first release '25th' reached No. 5 in the singer songwriter category, and many of her self-penned songs being broadcast by BBC Introducing in Devon - four being chosen as ‘Upload of the Week’.

With her haunting vocals, Sadie performs with warmth and authenticity, captivating her audience with her engaging presence. Her heartfelt lyrics are inspired by events and people around her with every song telling a compelling story.
Setting the foundations of her musical journey by busking on the streets of Exeter, Devon at age 14, Sadie’s hard work and dedication to music has paid off and she has established herself as a firm favourite on the South West music scene, and Exeter's best.
From then, she has gone on to release two very well received EP's, 'Two for Joy’ in 2016 and ‘Solivagant’ in 2018. Her 2019 single ‘Washed up Mermaid’ was picked as 'Fresh Fave' by Tom Robinson and was played numerous times on BBC Radio 6.
Following from that, her latest release ‘Game Over’ was featured on Mahogany’s ‘Chilled Acoustic’ compilation on YouTube, and AlexRainBird's 'Sad Songs' playlist. Together, the compilations have attracted over a quarter of a million views.
Her mesmerising voice has been heavily recognised within the industry with Universal Studios using her voice for American fantasy television series ‘Emerald City’ and Heart FM commissioning her for prime time commercials.
Last year, after taking a gap year to travel, Sadie moved to Brighton to study a degree in textiles at The University of Brighton.
Sadie is already creating a buzz in Brighton and has performed at three established live music venues, been invited on to local radio to perform, and was chosen as an over all winner for ’She Shore Live’, a competition which was held at The Ropetackle Arts Centre to find and promote a local female artists.
