I haven\u2019t shared this yet, but it\u2019s actually adapted from a song I wrote at 17,\u201d says Bernstein. \u201cI came across it in the archives of an old laptop last summer and shared it with my boyfriend Allan. Shockingly, it didn\u2019t make either of us cringe. Instead, there was actually something really special about it that I noticed my songs didn\u2019t have anymore. I\u2019m happy to have that back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLoser of the Year\u201d was written by Sarah Bernstein and produced by Bernstein and her mentor,&nbsp;<em><strong>Shane Adams<\/strong><\/em>.

After initially attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, she transferred to Fordham University, where she found home in New York City. Her self-produced EP\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/4F27GjoUpBMCcsm0H9kObK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spellbound<\/a><\/strong> is an ode to her time here, now approaching a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the pandemic, Sarah\u2019s focus shifted from the stage back to songwriting and the studio. After returning to Berklee through their online certificate program, she was introduced to her mentor and producer, Shane. In November 2020, she traveled to Nashville for the first time. Her song \u2018Till 3am\u2019 was the first of five singles recorded there as she evolved her sound over the next three years. In July 2022, her single \u2018Maxine\u2019 debuted on German radio as part of Bayern 3\u2019s Newcomer contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, Bernstein was thrilled to return to the stage to perform six solo shows beginning at The Mint in Los Angeles. She also crossed several iconic New York City venues off her bucket list, making her debut at Rockwood Music Hall and the legendary Bitter End (\u2026twice) later that year.
