Sarah Gaillard-McBrady, known as Sarah McBrady, is a Paris-born singer and actress based in Knock, Co. Mayo, Ireland. Her artistic journey has taken her from the stages of Paris to the creative hubs of Los Angeles and London, and now to Ireland’s West Coast. Along the way, her path has evolved, embracing no only performance but a deeper connection to the sacred power of voice, allowing her to share music that heals, inspires, and uplifts the soul.
A Lifelong Passion For The Arts
From an early age, Sarah knew she was meant to perform. At just six years old, she was singing on stage with her father and starring in musicals, setting the foundation for a lifelong artistic career. In 1996, she moved to Los Angeles, where she studied acting in Santa Monica and refined her singing talents across multiple genres, including American country music , Christian Contemporary music, Gospel, and Musical Theatre. As both a singer and actress, Sarah has captivated audiences as a solo artist, a band lead singer, and a stage and screen performer.
Over the years, however, Sarah's artistic journey has evolved. While she has always been passionate about music and performance, she now feels deeply called to a higher purpose — to use her voice not just for entertainment, but for healing, worship, and sacred connection. This transformation led her to embrace sacred worship music, drawing on her extensive musical experience to create performances that uplift, inspire, and deepen the connection between spirit and sound. Her ability to connect deeply with her audience, whether through a heartfelt ballad or a sacred hymn, now channels divine energy, making every performance not only memorable but transformative.
Upcoming Projects – 2025
2025 marks a transformative chapter in Sarah MacBrady’s artistic journey, as she fully embraces her divine calling as a singer and vocal artist.
Rooted in a strong background in musical theatre, pop, and country music, Sarah began her career singing in pubs and live venues — bringing her warm voice and magnetic presence to audiences across a range of styles. Now, after years of performing and teaching, she is opening a new doorway in her musical path: worship through song.
For the first time, Sarah is answering a long-standing desire in her heart — to share her voice in sacred spaces and spiritual settings. Deeply moved by contemporary Christian music since her teenage years — from Amy Grant to Stephen Curtis Chapman — she now feels called to offer her voice as a vessel for healing, presence, and divine connection. Worship evenings, spiritual gatherings, and soul-led music are becoming an integral part of her work.
At the same time, Sarah continues to bring joy and connection through vibrant live gigs in pubs, bars, and community events — with nostalgic hits from the 60s to 90s, Irish songs, French chansons, musical theatre gems, and more. Whether it’s a relaxed evening of acoustic charm or a lively sing-along set, she brings heart, energy, and authenticity to every performance.
Looking ahead, Sarah is dreaming into a future album that weaves these two threads of her artistry together — blending her love of country-pop with the spirit of faith and devotion. An album that bridges the soul and the stage, where her love for storytelling, melody, and the Divine all meet.
Whether singing under candlelight or stage lights, Sarah’s mission remains the same: to share music that touches hearts, uplifts spirits, and creates space for beauty, meaning, and joy.
A Life Rooted in Creativity & Spiritual Connection
Beyond the stage, Sarah’s life is deeply intertwined with her spiritual journey. She finds solace and inspiration singing with the Knock Parish Choir, meditating in quiet reflection, and walking amidst the beauty of nature’s sacred rhythms. Time spent with her beloved cat, Bella, and her mother, Marlene, nurtures her heart and soul. Whether performing, writing, or embracing the sacredness in everyday moments, Sarah’s life is a continuous expression of creativity, connection, and devotion to her path of healing and spiritual awakening.
