Recording artist and indie-pop producer Sarah Pumpian grew up in a musical household near Seattle. She woke up to the sound of her mother’s vocal students warming up and spent her childhood singing “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” on the family’s karaoke machine and even performing on tour with her mother in Japan. But after her mother’s death when she was 15 years old, Sarah pushed away her love for singing. It wasn’t until after college when a friend invited her to a jam session that her passion was reignited and she decided to pursue music professionally. Today, she writes and produces her own songs and tours as ZEMBU. In this episode of How Art is Born, Sarah and Alan discuss mental health and grieving, art versus commerce, and how to balance creativity and commerce as a professional artist.
