Birth Name: Sara Beth Bareilles
Birth Date: December 7, 1979
Age: 45 years old
Birth Place: Eureka, California
Partners: Joe Tippett
Born in 1979 in Eureka, California, Sara Bareilles' musical instincts began to bear fruit when she was a Communications major at UCLA. While there, she performed with the a capella group Awaken A Capella and won the University's 'Spring Sing' talent competition twice. After graduating in 2002, Bareilles stayed in Los Angeles and honed her talent playing local clubs. She released Careful Confessions, her first studio album in 2004, signed the next year with Epic Records, and spent much of 2006 and 2007 touring the world as a supporting act for the likes of Guster and Maroon 5.
In 2007, Bareilles released her second studio album, Little Voice that included the hit song "Love Song." The album peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200. Bareilles followed success with success, when her next album Kaleidoscopic Heart debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200. After serving as a judge on season three of the talent show "The Sing-Off" (NBC, 2009-2014) Bareilles released the Once Upon Another Time EP in 2012, followed by the full length The Blessed Unrest in 2013, which featured the hit song "Brave." The single was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance and the full length gained a nomination for Album of the Year. In 2015, Bareilles premiered "Waitress," a play based on the 2007 film of the same name. Bareilles wrote the songs but did not perform in the show. She released What's Inside: Songs from Waitress, an album of her own recording of the songs, in 2015.
