Sabreen

Auckland-raised, twenty-two-year-old Sabreen is an artist, songwriter and author. Weaving her signature style with inspirations from the likes of Hozier, Paris Paloma and The Beths, Sabreen uses her songs to tell earnest and heart-wrenching stories. Her single ‘Glow’ was selected as a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, and she has performed extensively across New Zealand, including at Music in the Parks and the Others Way Festival. In 2024, she opened for Prateek Kuhad’s Silhouettes Tour show in Auckland. Sabreen is also a published poet. Proudly Bangladeshi and Muslim, Sabreen is a fierce advocate for her community, which often finds its way into her music.

In 2023, Sabreen released her debut EP ‘room service’, created with Auckland producer Sophie Bialostocki. Her first headline show at BIG FAN was a full house. In 2024, she received funding from the NZ On Air Pan-Asian grant for her song ‘Countryman’, which will be released on Friday 20 September 2024. Produced with Nate Selway, the song seeks to shed light on the Asian New Zealand community by telling the true story of Joe Kum Yung, a Chinese-New Zealander who was a victim of a hate crime in 1905. A music video created with Angle3 Pictures will be released alongside the song.With one EP under her belt and a second on the way, the future is looking bright for this rising artist as she shares her music with the world.
