She sold over seven million records and is therefore one of the most successful German singers of the last two decades.
early life
Her father is from New Orleans and worked as a copywriter, her mother was a former model. Sarah was born in Delmenhorst in 1980 and is the eldest of five siblings. One of her sisters, namely Anna-Maria Ferchichi, gained some media notoriety through her marriage to well-known rapper “Bushido”.
She first came into contact with music at the age of six in a Hamburg gospel choir and grew up with soul music, so to speak, since her early childhood. She also took street dance, hip hop and jazz dance courses and was thus able to expand her skills as a dancer. She later attended the Max Planck High School in Delmenhorst and decided to focus on music. Her ambition was noticeable very early on, because she also took lessons at the local music school and thus received classical training in dance, theater and the piano.
In her youth from the age of 15, Sarah took part in the school musical Linie 1 and embodied the role of Sunny in this play. She dropped out of school at the end of the 12th grade and then did a media internship at the RTL television station, where she worked for television shows such as Big Brother and The Oliver Geissen Show.
Career
Sarah had her first appearance on the big stage during the Michael Jackson History Tour in Bremen. At Jackson’s first performance, she sang with her sister Anna-Maria in the children’s choir to the songs “Heal the World” and the “Earth Song”. A little later she sent the first demo tape to Martin Scholz (a former member of the boy band Touché), the boy band also came from Delmenhorst. The two soon became a couple and she made her debut as Sarah Gray in the opening act of that boy band. In 1998 she recorded the song “Last Unicorn” with Marc van Linden, but after the demo CD was rejected, the song was released by Sony Music with Project In-Mood featuring Juliette and became a hit. In the years that followed, from 1999 to 2001, she produced a few more demo CDs in Hanover and released the single “This Christmas” on a small label. However, this single failed to enter or jump into the charts and was therefore not a commercial success.
All the big and well-known record companies rejected Sarah Connor at first, she separated from her manager and worked together with Carlo Vista from then on. Sarah’s first turning point in the music business came in autumn 2000, when she signed a contract with X-Cell (a Sony subsidiary). The founder of this label, George Glück, became aware of the singer after hearing a recording of “Leise rieselt der Schnee” and enjoying the singing. Soon after, Sarah dropped out of school and moved away from home, the stage name was changed from Sarah Gray to Sarah Connor to make it sound more international and memorable. She then worked with two producers for half a year on her debut.
