Every new album symbolizes a new phase in the career and life of Sabrina Starke: “Since the first album, I continuously been busy growing and developing myself. To me, an album is a reflection of the time or phase I find myself in. On each album you can hear my personal experiences, feelings, dreams, visions, opinions, and point of views.”

Many years have past since Sabrina Starke (Paramaribo, August 9, 1979) of Rotterdam switched her steady job as youth worker, for the uncertain life of a singer-songwriter. Armed with a guitar and a unique voice, she decided to take a step forward from being a backup vocalist of a reggaeband. She went back to the essence of a singer-song writer: writing and singing songs in the purest form. Folk, Soul, and Jazz are her musical references. Amongst others, Nina Simone, Bill Withers, and Tracy Chapman are her sources of inspiration. But success did not come easily. Sabrina had come a long way before her breakthrough. After years of really hard work, she managed to build up a strong and impressive biography.

Sabrina Starke is devoted to share her knowledge and inspiration though music in order to inspire people and to make them consciously think about their own life and dreams. As one of her musical heroes Nina Simone said: “An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.”
