American songwriter and musician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarah Hart is an American musician and songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee.[1]
Originally from Lancaster, Ohio,[1] Hart graduated with a degree in music theory and contemporary composition from The Ohio State University.[1] Now based in Nashville, Tennessee,[2] she works as a singer-songwriter writing music for television,[3] film, audiobooks, pop, rock, but mostly Contemporary Christian music and hymns.[4] Hart has cited that the label 'Christian Music' can be applied to worship songs as well as secular saying "I can listen to a worship song and then I can listen to Jackson Browne and feel there's something equally Christian about it."[5] "If you have faith in something bigger than yourself, then whatever you do in life, that belief's going to leak into all of it."[5] She has composed music recorded by artists including Amy Grant ("Better Than a Hallelujah",[6]) Celtic Woman, Matt Maher (Flesh and Bone) and The Newsboys.[4] Hart's hymns are published by Oregon Catholic Press.[7]
Hart and Ben Glover co-wrote the song "All I've Ever Needed" by AJ Michalka from the Grace Unplugged soundtrack.[8] Hart's song "All These Things" (Hart, Scott Dente, Ken Lewis)[9] was featured on Dark Desires.
Hart has written scores for Vooks children's audiobooks and animated works, including Where Does Kitty Go in the Rain? by Harriet Zeifert,[10] Curious George Plants A Tree by H.A. Rey and Margret Rey[11] and other books in the Curious George series.[12] Hart has scored audiobooks and animated works for Scholastic, including Say Something[13], The Word Collector[14], and Be You by Peter H. Reynolds.[15] and the award winning audiobook Du Iz Tak by Carson Ellis.[16]
Hart is a Grammy nominee for Best Gospel Song[6] and BMI Winner (Christian Song of the Year[17] "Better Than a Hallelujah"), a Production Music Association Mark Award[18] 2020 Winner for Best Vocal Track for the song ("This Moment"[19]), an American Library Association ALA Odyssey Award Winner (Excellence in Audiobook Production, Score Writer, "Du Iz Tak"[20]) and an Audie Awards nominee[16] (Excellence in Audiobooks, Score Writer, "Say Something").
