On Air With Sarah Isen with Richard Isen

Sarah Isen was  born to sing.    The daughter  of  LGBT  mothers,  she was  conceived through an anoymous  donor  in Berkeley,  CA  and grew up in the same household with her  uncle Richard Isen,  a professional musician and award winning songwriter  for  musical theater.    Richard recognized her  talent  at  an early  age and had her  performing at  age 8 as  he accompanied her  on the piano.    She studied music  as  a youngster  and eventually  was  accepted in the Oakland School of  the Art  as  a singing major  where she was  a member  of  the award winning a capella group 'Vocal Rush.'    At  age 14 she had her  first  gig at  a local senior  center  where she performed her  favorite songs  along with some jazz  standards  taught  to her  by  her  uncle Richard. In her  teenage years,  her  donor  father  agreed to let  himself  be known and it  turned out  that  he too sang and had been a member  of  a professional group years  before.    Because of  websites  like '23 and Me',  Sarah has  discovered 32 half  siblings,  many  of  whom  also sing.   They  meet  on yearly  retreats  and many  of  them  came to Los  Angeles  to cheer  Sarah on as  she competed on  'American  Idol 2020'  and again  when  she  competed on  Fox's  'Alter  Ego'  as  St.  Luna.
