Fusion of piano pop, R&B and ’60-’70s soul-jazz
Sarah Ferri grew up in a warm Belgian-Italian nest. She was fascinated by the unique vocal style of such songbirds as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, and started writing highly individual and creative songs of her own. Their dark, fairytale tone was gradually influenced by the stark honesty of seventies folk and the sunny gipsy swing of the fifties.
Sarah was first caught on the radar when she won the Young Wolves music contest during the Ghent Festival in 2008. During a concert at The Music Village, Sarah Ferri was noticed by a scout from the Ancienne Belgique and was invited to take part in the Artist in Residence project.
Sarah has been the support act for Michael Kiwanuka, Caro Emerald, Simply Red and Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
In 2012 her debut CD, ‘Ferritales’, came out. It was produced by Koen Gisen and mastered by Tim Young at the Metropolis studio in London.
