About Her

Singer. Songwriter. Actress. Icon in the making.

Since 2009

Who is she

Pennsylvania girl.
Global icon.

Sabrina Annlynn Carpenter was born on May 11, 1999, in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. From an early age she was drawn to performing — teaching herself to play guitar at age 9 and uploading covers to YouTube not long after. That same year she began training seriously in acting, setting the foundation for a career that would span both worlds.

She broke through to mainstream audiences via Disney Channel's Girl Meets World (2014–2017), where she played Maya Hart — a sharp, emotionally layered character that felt tailor-made for her natural wit. But Sabrina had bigger plans. Even while the show aired, she was quietly building her music career, releasing her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015 and never looking back.
