about the artist

Zimbabwean-born singer/songwriter now living in the UK. A regular live performer at several London live music venues, Sahara C's aim at expanding horizons and developing her talent is being put into practice.

Having reached a semi-finalist position in the 2007 UK Songwriting Contest with song "Goodbye Playa", and with her smooth 'soul-tinged' vocals, Sahara C reached a position of finalist in the UK Unsigned contest 2008, where she was subsequently called back to perform at the UK Unsigned prestiged follow up event - the Winners showcase.

Sahara C was ecstatic to report that her recent recording of a 'clubby' R&B track was selected to be used by Puma as part of their promotion of their news fragrance, an opportunity made possible by Spin Music UK and indiestore. The promo will be running from 11th August 2008, for 8 weeks, and provides the track "Just Dance" for free download to Europe-based (mainland, not including UK) music lovers.

Currently working in the studio to record a collaborative project with new and old friends, Sahara C is seeking new performance opportunities while on a visit to Australia.

Live & Unsigned - Ready to go this Sunday

Hi there!
Well, the day has almost come. Just five short weeks ago, I found out I had won a chance to compete in the Semi Final stage of Live & Unsigned. Today, only two nights to go, and I am ready - as I'll ever be!

I'll be performing my original song, "No Tomorrow" which you will have heard on this side, amongst others. The t-shirts are printed, the flyers are ready to go, rehearsals have been done, we're ready.

Of course, I've done none of this on my own - for getting me to this stage: thanks to my cousin Tarryn for organising so many things and trying to keep me sane (!), Alexio Ferrao Design (www.afd.net) for designing my flyer, Enfield Independent (www.enfieldindependent.co.uk) for newspaper coverage, Joe Public Studios (www.myspace.com/joepublicstudios) for the arrangement on my track, Aldridge Fisher for my new dedicated website, Al Fraser for fabulous beats and some really helpful advice, and Tammy & Krystyna for back up vocals. Also, thanks to Danny for being my rock, Clara for being my advisor, and my friends and family for all their support.

So for the next day or so I'm on chill mode, right at the minute I'm chilling in front of the tele, with a cuppa, watching Sport Relief on BBC 1 - a charity that I am a full supporter of - its such a good cause!

Anyway, as for Live & Unsigned, I hope to see some of you there! Tickets are still available, and can be reserved for pick up at the door at this stage, cost is £6 each and showtime is 5:15pm.

Other than that, thats it from me for now ... until Monday then, when I will write again to give you the results...

UK Unsigned - Now I am a FINALIST!

Hello every body...

Yep - I'm ecstatic! Went to perform in the Semi Finals of UK Unsigned last night, and managed to make it through to the Finals which will be held at Hackney Empire on 30th March... Met a couple of cool people as well also singers - Colin, and my friend Cherelle... I've got a few pictures - will put mine up and wait to hear from Colin and Cherelle where they want me to email theirs too..

It was a fabulous, and very entertaining evening. There were so many talented singers in each category, heard some really inspirational original songs too. Best of all was Leon who is a young black man who plays the harmonica...! yeah you read right - and what a talent... his performance gave me goosebumps... I'm sure he will be famous! (better make friends with him now eh.. LOL)

Anyways, watch this space for updates on the finals of UK UNSIGNED to be held on 30th March at Hackney Empire...

Much love
Sahara C
