Hi, my name is Sarah Kallies. I am a singer, speaker and aspiring author. My passions are music, love and laughter. My life is my canvas.

Biographies are usually more information about a person than anyone really wants to know. This will be my attempt to inspire you anyway. As the fourth generation child of missionaries I have lived all over the globe. My first memories are of Israel but most of my childhood was spent in Thailand. I attended Dalat International boarding school in Penang, Malaysia where I still maintain some of my closest friendships. I am Irish, English and Norwegian. No school, counselor or book could teach what I’ve learned from simple life experience. My deepest truth is not my deepest sin. My value and purpose was predetermined by God and plays out in living every day of my life with Him. Several years ago I returned to school to complete my degree at North Central University and met my husband, Nick Kallies. I finally found the courage to face a very serious addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs and am 3 years clean. I finally have the health and faith I lacked for so long in moving forward with God’s plan for my life. I live each day now to bring others hope by sharing my story through music, writing and speaking. The journey is never easy but the view at the top of the mountain is breathtaking.

There’s no doubt that music changes people’s lives and is even more inspiring when it’s born from something real and not just manufactured. I started recording before the days of Myspace and Garage Band. When producing an album meant you were either signed to a big label or you had worked your tail off to meet the right people and you hoped that your indie project would not sound like it was recorded in someones basement, even if it was. My first album, “Falling,” is a blend of folk and pop. I am still surprised when I hear what started out as a demo and turned into so much more. My sophomore project, “Broken Down Angel,” is a reflection of a life with lines and laws that are in constant turmoil. The thing that ties us all together is human frailty and love. Whether playing Saturday night at a bar or Sunday at church, who I am and what I offer does not change. Like my faith and music, I cannot separate one from the other.
