Sab Star is the new indie solo project of Sab Mai, multidisciplinary artist based in San Jose, CA.  Their debut album “Sun Faded” offers a glimpse into their melancholic world that draws influence from shoegaze, ambient, and 90s rock.  Each song is a portal to chasing a feeling, an earnest poem sung with vocals like soft velvet accompanied by lush strings and nostalgic guitar riffs.  Mai’s piercingly poignant lyrics and knack for creating the unexpected have become their signature, as felt throughout their first project No Vacation.
