Sara Boy grew up in South-East Asia but is of French origin. During her high school years she joined a local choir and discovered the Allegri’s Miserere and the power of Gregorian chants, while constantly listening to soul, folk and RnB singersongwriters. She still draws on this classical repertoire in her songwriting, as her melodies involve multiple vocal layerings and harmonies, giving them an ethereal almost spiritual feel.
Sara Boy released her first EP urotour in 2018 where she poetically speaks about belonging or the lack of it in a globalised world. Showcased on Beehype’s Best tracks of 2018 from the Middle East compilation, Sara Boy finds inspiration in her past and current peregrinations between the East and West.
After her time spent in the Middle East, Sara Boy is now based in Paris and is currently working on her new EP.

spring never comes out
Neeco Delaf and Sara Boy
« spring never comes out » in 2020. We’re slowly coming out of the great lockdown and heading into summer with Neeco Delaf and Sara Boy wondering where spring went.
Both French but having lived abroad, they discovered each other online during the quarantine. Their track « spring never comes out » addresses the need for physicality in the digital age. When half of mankind went under lockdown whilst nature followed its course, if we didn’t experience the coming of spring, where did we go?
Neeco Delaf produces intricate and melancholic music. The kicks hit you and the ethereal synths move you. He uses complex sonorities where verses and choruses alternate smoothy in a falsely deconstructed manner.
Echoing her song 26 released in 2018 Sara Boy’s mellow voice questions the reality of our existence when social distancing becomes the norm and the only reality is virtual.
Sara Boy is a singer-songwriter of French origin who grew up in South-East Asia.
Based in Paris since 2020 Sara Boy is currently preparing her next EP. A first extract, a little life will be released in July alongside a Cube Sessions, an intimate live video performance captured by Beirut based digital media Balkoon.
