Born in Copenhagen on the 4th of January 1975

Musician and singer/songwriter

Sara Indrio began her musical training at the age of 6. Shortly after, she was enticed by the world of drums and mallets and became handpicked pupil of acclaimed classical percussionist, Gert Mortensen. She studied with great dedication, which resulted in the admission to the Conservatory of Rhythmical Music in Copenhagen when she was 18 years old. During the education her focus was put on Latin American percussions, but also on music theory, arrangement, composition, piano and singing. To master the techniques of the Conga drums in particular, she was naturally drawn to the origin of the instrument, which led her to visit Cuba where she studied the Afro-Cuban folklore drumming.

When Swedish pop-artist, Eric Gadd, asked her to join his band on the “Floating Tour” in 1995, Sara had already been active on the Danish music scene, but in the subsequent years she became based in Stockholm, where she founded musical relationships with colleagues and kinds, that have been a point of reference ever since. For ten years she toured and recorded with some of Scandinavia’s most esteemed musicians and artists, such as Rebecka Törnqvist, Thomas Di Leva, The Savage Rose, and many more. In 2004 she had the great recognition of receiving a grant from the Leonie Sonning Musikfond.

Alongside her career as a session musician there was always the urge to create her own music. As this urge grew stronger, she signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell’s Stockholm branch, which allowed her to develop her singing and song writing through co-writes and various recordings.
