Hello, I’m Sarah Jay.
I’m a singer, songwriter and writer of poems, memoir and musings. You might know my voice from Massive Attack’s Mezzanine and The Matrix, or from 1990s dance tracks with Charles Webster and Warp.
After a stroke I relearned to read, and after throat cancer I relearned to sing. Creativity, singing, writing and nada yoga carried me through, and that is what I share here.
Sarah Jay
What I make

Lyrics, songs and mentoring for people writing their way back.
Coaching
Singing, songwriting and performance coaching. Every voice is welcome.
Shows and exhibitions
Zen, Drugs ‘n’ Rock ‘n’ Roll, a spoken-word memoir with music and moving image, and The Art of Resilience: From the Furnace to the Flow, an installation of sculpture, collage, sound, words and photographs.
Singing for wellbeing
Breath and vocal courses, with nada yoga for the nervous system.
Sorrow carves valleys in the soul to hold more joy.
