Sarah Michelle was born in Dublin, Ireland and started playing classical guitar at age fourteen. Soon she became fascinated with rock music, and quickly decided to switch to electric guitar. Her mind would change, however, the first time she heard Guns N’ Roses “Sweet Child of Mine”. It was her “that’s what I want to do” moment – she knew she wanted to be a professional rock guitarist.  Her influences in addition to Slash have grown to include Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, Joe Pass, Chet Atkins, and Stevie Ray Vaughan
