BIGGEST POP SINGLE: "Love Song" (2008)

BIGGEST LP: Little Voice (2007)

GRAMMY AWARDS: 1

"Songwriting is the most sacred thing in my life. It's how I process my world. For now, it's usually me and my piano (that I rent cause I don't have one), my lousy grammar, and some emotion that makes me feel like I'm bursting at the seams. And it's the best feeling in the world." - Sara Bareilles

TIMELINE

Singer and songwriter Sara Beth Bareilles was born December 7, 1979. Sara self-released the LP Careful Confessions which led to a record deal with Epic. Sara grew up in Eureka, California and went to college at UCLA. It was after college when Sara began performing her music at local clubs and created two demos (The First One and The Summer Sessions). Sara's journey to the top of the charts got a boost when iTunes offered her eventual single "Love Song" as the 'free download' of the week. The exposure helped spark interest in her major label debut release Little Voice.

January 20: Sara self-released the LP Careful Confessions.

April: Sara signed with Epic Records.

February: Sara began recording her first major record label release.

July 3: Sara released Little Voice. Sara said of the LP: "It's a collection of songs that pretty much mean the world to me. They chronicle my life, my relationships, my basket-case-ness, and my utter devotion to trying to write honest stuff down and share it. That's where the title comes from. This record was really about me learning to trust my own instincts, and more importantly, recognize how desperately I needed to learn to listen to myself, however inexperienced and naive I may be. It sounds cliche, but that little voice is sometimes the only voice that's speaking the truth. I think that's pretty f***ing cool."
