Her voice has been described as powerful, unforgettable and haunting; her style compared to that of legendary greats ranging from Billy Holiday to Janis Joplin. And yet Sayed Sabrina is modest of her own abilities. When questioned, this unassuming songstress with the thick head of hair and impish grin remains humble of her gospel fused talents.
"I know I can sing," she begins with a flash of deep dark eyes, that reflect her Welsh, Pakistani and Fijian background. "Don't get me wrong. It's just that I'm a perfectionist. Never satisfied, you know? I love to involve myself in the expression of songwriting, in every aspect." This exploration of the craft has lead Sabrina to conquer a variety of instruments, including percussion, piano, and even the marimba. Yet it is her songwriting and her voice that have garnered her a loyal following at such LA standards as The West End, The Viper Room, The Troubadour and Roxbury. At these local venues, her fans revel in the unbridled passion of her sultry and passionate vocals.
Her musical influences are an eclectic mix of jazz, punk, blues, reggae, hard rock and raga, and are reflected in her work. "I like to take bits and pieces of influences," she says softly. "A dash of Thelonious Monk mixed in with some Nina Hagen or Bonnie Raitt. They mix very well with my passion for world beat, gospel and jazz, and I'm able to write from a variety of perspectives." These perspectives shine in the haunting rhythms of "Just One Touch", to the tasteful and jaw-dropping punch of "Bigger Than That." Sabrina's songwriting skills receive high marks in these tantalizing originals, and are beautifully complemented by her wide and throaty range few other artists can claim. Sayed Sabrina is currently continuing her on stage performances, Sayed is concentrating on writing and recording new material.
Hello how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished producing a yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Capturing the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
I have attached a mini player for you to listen to a sample of the album so just press play to get away from this mad world we are living in.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
Please let me know what you think of it, I look forward to your reply.
