B2B INFO PAGE SARAH BURGESS "SASSY"

Sarah Burgess’ first release is called “Sassy.” Of course it is. What else could it be called but “Sassy”? Impudent, jaunty, chick, stylish, lively and spirited - it fits perfectly to this freaky, self confident and powerful person.

Where do we begin!

Sarah’s a young “old pro” who’s been performing since she was 6. Back then, her venue was primarily church (where the saucy “Sassy” will undoubtedly raise eyebrows). Things really started to take off for her, though, when she defied her father to sneak off and audition for Season 6 of “American Idol” in New York (Sassy, indeed!).The vocal powerhouse had every teenager who’d ever rebelled in her corner,” wrote TVGuide.com. Heck, even crankypants Simon Cowell was forced to admit to her, “I like you.” In the months that followed, Burgess was interviewed by almost 100 radio and TV stations in the US to tell her resonant story.

Since then, the native of Pittsburgh has been working nonstop toward her ultimate goal of being a known singer. She released an indie album, had a US Top 10 Single chart entry (secondary market with the song “Dangerous”, co-written with Mans Ek), opened for fellow “Idol” Chris Daughtry (for a live audience of 80,000 people!) and took on one high-glam modeling gig after another. 2009 she got a record deal by Solymar Music, Switzerland and Iceberg Records, Denmark and the building up started. She performed in Cannes at Midem (together with Aura Dione), toured schools in the US and Switzerland (130 schools in 6 weeks, over 12,000 students in Switzerland only). She also competed in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 selection (Switzerland) with the Song “Just Me” and made into the final show on Swiss Television. And her live show was of course “Sassy”. After that she finally recorded “Sassy.”

So, aside from its title, why is “Sassy,” which was written by international hitmakers Måns Ek (Sarah Connor, Jeanette Biedermann) and Charlie Mason (Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale), and produced by Måns, the perfect single to introduce Sarah?

“Because it sounds like a party in your ears,” she says. “And that’s exactly what I want to sound like”.

"Music Is My King Size Bed: (05.01.2012)" Sarah Burgess...where have you been all my life? She's got a sort of Kat Graham/Neon Hitch mixed with Jessie and The Toy Boys vibe about her, which I love! A new(ish) video for a song called "Sassy" was recently sent to me and while I've only watched it a couple of times, I can already safely say that I'm obsessed with this girl … For more click here!

Blog "Pop, Rinse, Repeat": A super poppy bubble gum track that leaves you still wanting more but if you dig a little deeper, Sarah's vocals on this track give it a much needed infusion of depth. I love bubble gum pop more than most people and this song does not let me down. From the beginning to the end, you just want to bob your head and move your feet. For more click here!
