Award-winning LA and Toronto-based Egyptian artist and producer Sarah Shafey is channeling her rebellious, boundary-pushing energy into her next major creative chapter. She is currently in the studio recording her upcoming album with Grammy-winning producer Tristan Boston, set for release beginning this fall. The new project is a vibrant, multi-genre love letter to Los Angeles that seamlessly traverses across various rock soundscapes, from driving alternative and high-energy pop-rock to heavy grunge and emotive R&B-infused rock.

​

This new body of work builds on the success of her last album, The Paper Bag Princess, which merged feminist ethos and personal revelation with 1990s grunge. Moving forward, Shafey continues to use her platform to challenge outdated industry standards and flip traditional narratives, showing a woman in full power within a traditionally male-dominated genre.

​

Shafey is a classically-trained pianist, a prolific songwriter, an audio producer, and an active women’s empowerment advocate. Her music is a holistic artistic statement combining the many facets of her identity, defined by a restlessly creative spirit, biting yet tongue-in-cheek lyricism, and an unyielding commitment to artistic independence.

​

Having evolved her sound over the years from piano folk-pop and electronic to emotive alternative, grunge, and beyond, Shafey continues to push her sonic boundaries. Her forthcoming LA-inspired record builds on her foundational work at her Squeaky Clean Underground studio, bringing a refined, powerhouse aesthetic to her most dynamic collection of songs yet.
