Sarah attended Grover Middle School and West Windsor High School South (both in New Jersey) where she was an active member of both their acclaimed chorus ensembles. They performed at several venues in Germany and Austria including the Golden Hall in Vienna. Her first solo public debut was at the age of 13 and she has been performing to live audiences ever since.

"Everyone's Your Friend" lyrics Include:

  Everyone's Your Friend 
You see someone at school, they have a different hair do 
You're with your friends, they do whatever you do
 Try being nice, they're probably really cool 
Don't be the bully, the bully at your school
 Cause everyone's your friend, Everyone's your friend 
Be nice to everyone, you gotta understand 
That there's a golden rule, bullying's not cool
 Try treating others like you want to be treated 
I wanna go to space, climb the highest mountain
 so many dreams over flowin like a fountain
 But when you say mean things, you really get me down 
You take my dreams, and you pull them to the ground 
Everyone's your friend, Everyone's your friend 
Be nice to everyone, you gotta understand
 That when your dreams are high, you shoot into the sky
 Nothing can stop you can you feel your heart beatin'?
 Everyone's your friend, Everyone's your friend
 Be nice to everyone, you gotta understand
 That when your dreams are high, you shoot into the sky
 Nothing can stop you can you feel your heart beatin'?


"Everyone's Your Friend" track was part of the award winning Sing With Max children's CD that was on the 2013 Grammy nomination ballot for children music, earned the coveted Dove Foundation "Family Friendly" approval, and recently won the Mom's Choice Award (Silver) for children's music albums.
