Biography
Sarah June is a singer-songwriter-musician who grew up in Detroit and now resides in San Francisco. She has been singing, and playing piano, and guitar since childhood. While in High School she began writing songs inspired by the decaying landscape surrounding her in urban Detroit. By the age of eighteen she was playing her haunting melodies live in Detroit and Chicago.
The year 2001 saw the release of an album entitled three-quarter view.
In 2008, June released her debut full length CD, "This is My Letter to the World", on Hand/Eye Records. In addition to ten original haunting songs the CD contains two cover songs. Sarah gives her own take on Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "When Doves Cry". The alternative music blog Soul Drift describes June's songs as "bleak, heartbreaking and lonely sounding, as if she is a sad ghost girl desperate for love".
The song "We Lurk Late" contains excerpts from the poem "We Real Cool" by Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks. In an interview with the German publication, Black Magazine, June describes the influence of poets and artists on her work including Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and Ray Bradbury.
