About Sarah McLachlan Known for her emotional ballads and hauntingly soulful vocals, singer-songwriter and musician Sarah McLachlan (b. 1968 in Halifax, Nova Scotia) has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. The JUNO and Grammy award-winning artist – who is classically trained in guitar, piano and voice – has described creating music as a cathartic process of self-discovery. McLachlan released her first studio album at age 20, after moving to Vancouver, British Columbia. She has since issued eight more, including Surfacing, which reached number one in Canada and achieved multi-platinum status. McLachlan’s unique fusion of pop and folk has spawned such hits as “Building a Mystery,” “Sweet Surrender” and “Angel.” In 1997, she launched the exclusively female-fronted Lilith Fair concert tour, which helped bolster careers and raised more than $7 million for women’s charities. McLachlan has been an advocate for animal rights and is the founder of the non-profit Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides free music education and mentorship to children and youth facing various barriers to access. She was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada and inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
