Rachael Sage system she received as a Bat Mitzvah present. During Ju-
nior High school, Sage gained admission to the School
of American Ballet. Sage attended Stanford University,
earning a degree in Drama. Later, she was in the Actors
Studio MFA program. Her performance in their New York
Talent Search won Sage a place on the Village Stage of the
1997 Lilith Fair. The word theatrical has been used to de-
scribe Sage’s sound.[3] Legendary pop producer Phil Ra-

unusual way of treating a pop song. I admire her editorial
and musical ability when it comes to crafting a tune."[4]
Most recently, Sage’s "Brave Mistake" was nominated
for Best Story Song at The 10th Annual Independent Mu-
sic Awards,[5] and Sage herself took home OUTstanding
Producer for her song "Hope’s Outpost" at The 7th Annu-
al OUTMusic Awards.[6]
