Italian-born and London-based classically trained pianist and vocalist Sara De Sanctis has released her fourth single ‘Astray’ on December 2nd, 2022, produced by Jacob Bright and mastered by Shawn Joseph (who worked with musicians all around the world such as New Order, PJ Harvey and Portishead). “'Astray' was written together with 'Have I been Dreaming' and 'Fading' and they talk about the feeling of obsession, loss and disorientation” says Sara. Sara started playing the piano at five years old and became passionate about songwriting and composition during her teenage years. Her interest in composition led her to the UK and the USA, where she also studied film scoring and conducting after influences such as Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone. Her debut single ‘Serendipity’, and ‘15 Again’, were both featured on BBC and prized in Italy. 'Fading', was remixed by UK House music hero Richard Earnshaw and featured on radio stations worldwide. “Even though I chose another path, classical music helped me develop musical thinking and composition methods that I can now use in my own works. In ‘Astray’, the sense of sweet and sadistic surrender to a relentless and deteriorating love is conveyed through the use of 'laid back' vocals” says Sara. Inspired by artists such as Björk, Thom Yorke, Billie Holiday and Agnes Obel, she is active as a pianist and singer/songwriter and is studying conducting in London.
