Sabira has written, recorded and performed compositions for special events, awareness courses, meditation workshops and documentaries. Her customized original meditation music and voice recordings have gained a wide and appreciative audience.

Sabira found her calling in her early teens. At age 16, she sang and played guitar with a group of talented buskers in The Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada. Always eclectic, she moved to the San Francisco bay area, began playing the banjo, and sang folk, rock, reggae, jazz and opera in various coffeehouses and nightclubs. 

In San Diego, Sabira and keyboard virtuoso Ron Nathan formed the Island Fever band, and Sabira added the sparkling sound of steel pan. Island Fever became so popular that for years they often played 7 days a week and multiple shows on weekends.

Island Fever recorded two albums of Caribbean songs. Then Sabira Woolley, Ron Nathan, and Jasmine Feliz recorded “Eckasha Flame”; an album of original meditation music, that received many glowing reviews and has become a collector's item. Following that, they recorded Ron Nathan’s original African inspired album, “Savannah Dreams”. Sabira has been slowly and lovingly completing her current original music compilation. Five songs are available for download, and more coming soon.

Sabira writes helpful and entertaining articles for professional and aspiring to be professional musicians for BellaOnline.
