From the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, Roxie (Sarah Garth) is set to take the world by storm with her individual creativity and flair as a solo artist, songwriting and performing. Her plans are to bring music with a real spark of creativity and emotion back into the airwaves where it belongs. From the age of 12, the moment Roxie picked up a guitar, she knew it was her dream to perform. With a lot of dedication and inspiration, she has become a proficient guitar player with a prominence of emotional, Slash inspired playing style. Later on, she yearned a greater need to connect with the audience as a musician - she felt she had a voice inside her that needed to be heard, and from there has developed a singing voice, enjoying the freedom to bring more of her own flair into her performances. It was only recently that Roxie believed music was her true path in life, and in this short time she has come such a long way, creating her own songs and forging her own sense of artistry and integrity only few artists seem to have. With an eclectic range of musical taste, from her main idols like Guns N’ Roses, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and Europe (the band), she has shaped a unique, classic meets polished rock inspired style that can’t be imitated. Her striking influences have shaped Roxie with a combination no one has ever seen before. Roxie’s style can be difficult to explain with words, but imagine big-sound of late 80s to early 90s hard rock fused with the slickness and refinement of Michael Jackson, with the creativity and meticulousity to match; all together to form a pleasing sound which is potentially commercially successful. That said, Michael Jackson is a massive inspiration to her in music and style, but most of all in his integrity and work ethic. Roxie wants to be like him in terms of his dedication and fulfillment of creative vision, not in the way some artists imitate him and fail to do so. However, Roxie is not afraid to venture out of what she is used to, as she loves to experiment and add elements of other genres to fulfill her creative vision for her songs. Roxie is very dedicated towards her music, and is driven on making her songs sound exactly how she wants them to. She loves being able to put her own emotion into her songs, and tell a story with the lyrics, melody and beyond. To Roxie, there is no more a profound way telling of a message than with a song, because there are more than just words someone can hang and feel attached to. Music can be quicksilver, your experience changed every time you listen, or can be unchanged through time and in the face of any element of life. It can take you back and make you miss the past, or be excited for the future - most of all, it can do anything. Roxie’s ultimate goal in music is to be a well known and respected artist, who gives people music they can turn to in any kind of need. She wants to entertain and give great performances people crave, and being refreshingly different by bringing back the magic of high energy and charisma. This is the most important part, but there is more than just music that makes Roxie feel that being an artist is the right path for her. There are many things she would do with exposure to the public and resources that could improve the lives of many people less fortunate, which is something she cares about very much. She aims to increase awareness about serious issues, which she has already done in some of her songs. In her words; “I would like to have the same charm that Michael Jackson and Princess Diana had with people, and I feel I already have a seed of that which can only flourish with experience and having the ability to help others. Overall, through my musical endeavours and being who I am, I want to be inspiring. I aspire to be a great role model to people the way those I admire are to me.”
