London-based singer-songwriter, Sarah Téibo, who was told she may never sing again has defied the odds and released a new EP – ‘Human Like Me’ – after recovering from thyroid cancer.
Sarah was also advised by doctors that her vocal cords were at risk of irreparable damage after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a malignant growth on her thyroid. Despite being saddened by the diagnosis and struggling to absorb what this could mean for her future as a singer, the mother of two, who had already published three award-winning Gospel albums, took a leap of faith and booked and attended songwriting sessions within three weeks after major surgery.
“I could barely produce coherent sounds, yet I went into the songwriting sessions to write new music – even with dressing from surgery still on my neck … I don’t know how I got through it, but somehow I did!” says Sarah.
"This was without a doubt the most anxious I'd ever felt, and I thought I'd never be able to sing again after being diagnosed with'mild vocal paresis' as a result of surgery. This meant I'd need vocal rehabilitation to properly retrain and learn to sing again. The prospect of never being able to sing with my distinctive strength and pitch was horrifying, but my faith helped keep me optimistic about the future.
She was eventually given the ‘all clear’ from cancer, as well as discharged from vocal therapy after regaining most of her singing voice. Months later, she released the first single from the EP – ‘All Clear’ – which is dedicated to her journey back to recovery. On the rest of the project, Sarah creates a musical tapestry interwoven with stories, melodies and warm sonics that take listeners through her experience processing diagnosis, anxiety, fear, scars, faith and ultimate healing.
‘Human Like me’, Sarah’s fourth studio project, is now available to stream and download from all music platforms.
