Motivated by her belief that music is a tool through which positive change can be inspired, saritah’s songs combine lyrics that are at once global and personal, political and spiritual, with music that incorporates many influences from around the globe. From soul through folk to roots and world beats, saritah has clearly crafted her own unique style, which has a sincere, raw energy, and whether solo or with a band, is performed with such passion as to captivate the listener, young or old.
The THESE DAYS/YOU'RE THE ONE EP, released in September 2005, is a fine example of the potent combination of melody, message and groove that saritah is becoming well known for. Her debut full-length album ‘gratitude’, released in May 2004, contains 11 tracks and was recorded over two years between Fremantle [WA] and London. The album reveals an incredible song-writing talent delivered with world-class production. Both releases are distributed nationally through MGM.
saritah was nominated for Best Blues N Roots Artist in the 2006 WAMI awards. Her second full-length album is due for release in early 2007.
