Sarah Hanks

Sarah Hanks is a singer-songwriter from a small town in south Louisiana, now making her mark in the DFW music scene. She’s been writing songs since she was eleven, using songwriting as a mirror, a way to make sense of her emotions, experiences, and perspective on the world.
​
Sarah's songwriting leans more observational than autobiographical. She studies the people around her with an analytical eye and an empathetic mind, trying to capture the full picture before casting judgment. The goal isn't confession or exposure; it's fairness. She wants to paint her subjects honestly, contradictions and all, without flattening them into heroes or villains.
​
Her sound blends soulful alternative pop with folk and singer-songwriter influences, pairing intimate piano-driven arrangements with vivid storytelling and raw emotion. Inspired by artists like Billy Joel, Finneas, Adele, and John Mayer, she pairs tenderness with a wry, knowing edge.
