Ep. 68 Sara Phillips, Singer - Songwriter - Behind The Scenes

“When I’m in the studio or writing at home, singing at home…it’s my peaceful place. It’s where I go to be peaceful and mindful.” - Sara Phillips, The Monica Kade podcast Originally from Montreal, Canada, Sara Phillips is an independent, pop/soul singer-songwriter now living in Los Angeles, California. I discovered Sara while musing through Instagram — and I’m so glad I did. Her songs House on Fire andTry have stolen my heart (and seem to play on repeat in my head when least expected). I was struck by Sara's sweet and down-to-earth nature. Her warmth and thoughtful answers during our conversation made our chat a blast. And, she loves Australian Singer-Songwriter Missy Higgins. I think that garnered the beginning of a beautiful bond between us. [laughs] She has a very popular YouTube Channel. A loyal Instagram fan base; plus she’s work with Grammy-nominated Mike Daley and Mitchell Owens on The Boy Who Let Me Down. This young woman is one to watch! Take a listen to our conversation.
