Sara Kays (born February 18, 1999)[1] is an American singer-songwriter.
Early Life
Kays grew up in Carmel, Indiana. After busking in her hometown as a teen,[2] she began posting covers online. Kays began writing and posting original songs after moving to Nashville, Tennessee for college.[3] She told HuffPost that TikTok, where she has 1.8 million followers,[4] "has been a great place to post new ideas [...] I was very surprised to find out how many people could relate to my songs when I started posting on there. There have been times where I’ve posted a video of myself singing part of a new song I just wrote, and then deciding to finish, record and release it within a couple of weeks because of the reaction.”[5]
Career
She released her first EP A House Too Big in 2018.
In 2020 she released Remember That Night? which a Billboard review said "demonstrates the full-bodied nature of her songwriting, which tells the story of post-breakup wistfulness while the vocals are layered during the most piercing stray thoughts."[6] In 2021 she made her network TV debut performing it on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[7]
She described Bored, released in 2023, as being "about how I struggle to open up to people because of the fear that people will get bored of me" in an interview with Rolling Stone.[8]
Musical influences
Kays cited Ed Sheeran, Mayday Parade,[9] Jake Bugg, and Shawn Mendes[2] as influences.
