About Sarah
At 31 years of age, songwriter Sarah Godden has worked with some of the most successful acts, labels and artists in Australia. From Australian Idol winners to platinum selling artists like Delta Goodrem and Vanessa Amorosi, she has spent the last ten years honing her skills as a writer/producer and is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, engineer, arranger and producer of considerable range.
It is this range that enables Sarah to work comfortably where she is most happy - smack bang in the middle of writing pop songs. From country tinged ballads to dance club tracks, pieces for film and tv or infectious tween rock songs, there are no genre limitations for her when it comes to creating a marketable piece of pop.
Based in Melbourne Australia, she has also worked extensively in Europe and Asia, with her songs appearing on platinum selling albums in Scandinavia (Maria Arredondo - Not Going Under, Norway), hit movie soundtracks in the U.K (Fox Searchlight’s ‘Confetti’) and even fashion advertising campaigns in Japan (Anna Tsuchiya for Vienus Jean TVC).
Sarah’s latest project of note was a collaboration with new Dramatico artist Andrea McEwan in the U.K, with a first single already doing the rounds in Europe and an album release imminent for March 2009. The album features six tracks co-written by Sarah, who produced all the demo’s and also contributed vocal’s and arrangements.
