Born in Oslo, Norway, Sara Aimée Smiseth pursued her career at the Norwegian Academy of Music and The Royal Conservatory of Brussels with professors Einar Steen-Nøkleberg, Einar Henning Smebye, and Jan Michiels. She also has a degree in Musicology from the University of Oslo. 
 She has distinguished herself with her unique combination of both verbal and musical ‘storytelling’ — weaving the history and relevance of her subjects into her virtuosic piano concerts. Since she finished her studies in 2014 she has toured regularly with her lecture concerts home and abroad.
