Sara Berki
Sara’s combination of timeless storytelling with her modern country sensibilities and her down-to-earth presence have helped establish her as one of the most exciting and prolific new artists in country music. In just three years since the release of her debut single, Sara has grown her catalogue to sixteen songs released, with over 7 million music streams and 9 million video views.
But 2024 marked her true breakout. She performed at major Australian country music festivals like CMC Rocks, Ridin’ Hearts Festival, Groundwater Country Music Festival, and took the stage at Brisbane’s Gabba Stadium for the Brisbane Lions’ AFL season opener. Her performance of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” at that event went viral, racking up over 20 million views across platforms and making her one of the most-watched Australian country artists of the year on YouTube. She also won the APRA Professional Development Award in the Country/Americana category, joining alumni like Gotye, Morgan Evans and Fanny Lumsden.
Sara kicked off 2025 reaching new milestones with her hit singles “Cowboys Do It Better” and “Looks Like” along with a collaboration with Y.O.G.A. – the country-DJ project of Reuben Styles from Peking Duk (“Forever Hold Your Gun”). This landmark year also set the groundwork for her first ever headline tour at the start of 2025. The tour was unique in that Sara performed two sets each night. The first set was solo, just Sara with her guitar, performing the songs in their most vulnerable form. The second set was with her band, energy high and the crowd singing and dancing to every song. This format was the perfect representation of Sara and where she sits as an artist, songwriter and performer – the introspective singer-songwriter and the good-time, leader of the party.
Sara’s latest release, the 5-track EP, ‘In The Neon’, represents the latter of those two sides and has been praised by fans and industry alike, including major support from Spotify, featuring Sara on a billboard in Times Square, New York to celebrate the release.
Capturing audiences not just at home, but globally, it is clear Sara is ready to take her music to the world.
