Born and raised in Beaverton, Ontario, Sarah Wickett grew up with a deep passion for music that began to flourish during her formative years. With a natural gift for singing and songwriting, Sarah began to hone her craft. Like any artist worth their salt, she drew inspiration from the highs and lows of life, from the joys of love to the heartbreak of loss. But it was the trailblazing efforts of the legendary Shania Twain that truly inspired her to break barriers and pave her own way as a woman in the industry.

Her bold move paid off when she made history by becoming the first North American country singer to record a bilingual (Punjabi / English) mashup called "Accent" featuring Punjabi artist, Rahul Bains.

Sarah's unwavering dedication to her craft and her willingness to break barriers and defy expectations are what make her stand out as a rising star in the music industry. Through her music, she hopes to bridge cultural divides and unite two distinct music genres, creating a movement that celebrates the beauty of diversity.

Sarah’s latest releases are a perfect example of this fusion. "Lemonade" is a refreshing and perfectly blended mix of Pop-Country with hints of Punjabi inspiration. The tabla and banjo are seamlessly intertwined to create sweet harmonies, offering a fresh take on country music that is uniquely Sarah. After its original release, she collaborated with up-and-coming Punjabi artist Jagmeet Saini to release another version, where he sings in Punjabi on the second verse. This marked Sarah's second single featuring a Punjabi artist. The has song captured the attention of many country music and Punjabi music fans across streaming platforms, particularly on TikTok, and has now gathered a combined 400,000 streams across platforms.
