Sarah Khatami is a singer/songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Sarah’s upbringing was a harmonious fusion of cultural influences, from her older sisters’ collection of R&B/pop music, to her parents’ collection of traditional and contemporary Persian music.

From tales of love and heartbreak to reflections on identity and belonging, her music serves as a poignant mirror to society's collective experiences. With a keen eye for storytelling and a soulful voice that resonates with honesty and vulnerability, Sarah invites her audience to journey alongside her as she illuminates the universal experiences that bind us together as human beings.
