About

Sarah Hart is a Grammy-nominated songwriter/composer, producer, recording artist, author, speaker, workshop educator, and worship leader who brings the joy of her faith into all her endeavors.

The product of a musical and faith-filled upbringing in Southeastern Ohio, Sarah fell in love with melody, harmony, and the written word from a young age. As a child and teenager, watching the ways that music ministered to the hearts of people – not just in church, but in all settings – impacted her greatly, and set her heart on a journey.

She has recorded and written 13 full-length recordings, as well as over 30 single releases. Her most recent full-length release is the award-winning Love as Never Before, a beautiful collection of liturgical songs which includes The Mass of St. Mary Magdalene. Her songs have been recorded by artists including Amy Grant, Celtic Women, Matt Maher, and The Newsboys. Sarah’s music appears extensively in Catholic hymnals, and she works closely with OCP.

A lover of writing all styles of music, Sarah has also had numerous song placements in film and television, including songs on various Netflix and Prime series, TV commercials, and movies. She has scored music for Scholastic and Vooks animated films, and has written several scores for the Tom Tichenor Children’s Theater in Nashville, Tennessee. She also wrote the score and music for a musical, “Bernadette of Lourdes,” which premiered in March 2014.

In addition to being a Grammy nominee, Sarah is a BMI Award winner, a PMA Mark Award Winner, an American Library Association Odyssey Award winner, a two-time Audie Awards nominee, and an Association Of Catholic Publishers multi-award winner.

One of Sarah’s greatest joys is found on the road helming concerts, keynoting and speaking, leading faith-focused parish missions, retreats and workshops for women and musicians, and performing a variety of events from coast to coast and abroad. In October of 2013, Sarah was invited to sing for Pope Francis and a crowd of 150,000 in St. Peter's Square.

Sarah sees the threads of life, faith, and the human experience woven through her diverse resume: “I always hope to simply be a person of faith who is in touch with my humanity; being able to write, speak, sing, and give to others from that place of fearless honesty is, for me, the key,” she said.

“To be able to do this work and offer a little bit of an oasis to people – a time to sing, listen, delve in, have fun, and look deeper into their faith and desire more -- that's really rewarding to me. I’m incredibly grateful to meet such amazing folks, to have them be a part of my journey, and I’m so grateful for them allowing me to be a part of theirs.”

Sarah resides in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband, Kevin. They have two amazing daughters, Rose and Evelyn. Of all the varied titles she has held in her life, those of “wife” and “mom” have been Sarah’s favorites.
