Sarah Dechaene

Sarah Dechaene is a London-based session keyboardist, musical director and playback engineer, specialising in pop, rock, EDM and hip-hop performance.

 

As a keyboard player, I've worked with artists such as Sam Renascent, Axelle Aerts, Boshra, RAMAN., Gene Thomas, Guy Swinnen and Tonya Schamp. I've appeared at several major festivals, including the Mardi Gras Festival in Belgium, the Ghent Festivities and Student Kick-Off Belgium.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Music Performance in Pop and Rock Piano as a graduate from the Royal Conservatory of Ghent. During these studies, I specialised in keyboard and synthesiser performance, and the design and operation of Ableton Live playback systems.​

​

As a playback engineer, I specialise in complex Ableton touring setups. These systems include fail-safe solutions, talkback and cue systems, live looping, patch switching, lighting and video synchronisation, VST instruments, and digital drum pads and triggers.​​​

​

As a recording artist and producer, I've written, produced and released the self-titled album sarah in 2023. I am featured as session keyboardist on recordings with RAMAN., Boshra, FAK and Canves, among others. I have appeared as keyboard player across several radio and television platforms, including MENT TV, Qmusic, Radio 2 and Urgent.fm, as well as in official promotional videos for Roland.
