SaraLou is a twenty-year-old singer/songwriter from Dungarvan, Co. Waterford with a very promising future. At he young age of four, she started out as an Irish dancer and musician playing flute and tin whistle in the Irish Trad scene, and has since toured Asia, America and the Middle East performing in a prominent Irish dance show. During her dancing years, SaraLou won four All-Ireland medals, three Scottish and British medals, and was also ranked in the World Irish Dancing Championships. She has also won several national titles for playing the flute and tin whistle. Her burning passion however, has always been singing.
At eighteen years of age, she decided to branch out on her own, and began playing guitar and singing in local venues. Early in 2008 she was the winner of an online talent contest, in the singing category, where she sang a cover of the Duffy song “Mercy”, winning herself a whopping $10,000.
After such an encouraging response, she began to write her own original material, composing some very catchy, melodic tunes and penning some very astute lyrics. Over the next few months, SaraLou worked tirelessly in the studio where she recorded her debut E.P entitled “See You Soon”. This E.P. is a collection of pop/soul sounds, which includes five of her own original songs, some covers and a bonus dance track.
In August 2008, SaraLou was approached to sing on the soundtrack to the Irish-made movie “Insatiable”. The film has since toured many of the international film festivals across the globe. SaraLou’s song was featured in the closing scene of the movie and plays on to the credits.
Since the beginning of 2009, SaraLou has performed as guest support artist to Irish super group Bagatelle, and also to Aslan, as well as playing her own gigs nationwide. With the desire for SaraLou’s wonderful and melodious voice, she is constantly in demand gigging nationally, achieving a huge fan base and widespread acclaim for her live performances. Sara Lou has recently been causing quite a stir amongst music officials throughout Ireland and the U.K., and is now regarded as one of the most promising and prolific new talents to emerge from Ireland in recent years.
SaraLou is currently back in the studio writing and recording new tracks for her eagerly anticipated debut album, which is due to be completed later in 2009.
