About

For two decades, Sara has built a multifaceted career as an artist, musician, songwriter, producer, and educator, placing her at the intersection of music, contemporary art, and activism. Drawing from a fine arts background, with a B.A. in Art History, and M.F.A. in Sonic Arts, she continues to write multimedia guitar pieces and create instruments for sound installations. As a guitarist, she is best known for the band The Julie Ruin and as the touring guitarist in Bikini Kill.

Throughout her active music career, she has embarked on global tours, produced music, and collaborated with award-winning musicians. For over 16 years, she developed and ran a full-time music school for girls and women in NYC, focusing on offering a women-run safe environment for rock instruments. Sara Landeau Studios was modeled after the type of place she wished she had access to as a kid. She is a retired CBGB's (NYC) employee who, along with her friends, were able to showcase their bands and new projects there for many years.

After a year of doctoral studies in music at University of California, Santa Barbara, Sara moved to Los Angeles in 2021, and is finishing a doctorate online from the UK. 

She and her partner created a recording/teaching studio in downtown LA called Ampere Studio.
