BROOKYLN-BASED ACTOR/Singer/MUSICIAN

Sahar Milani is a Lebanese-Iranian-American actor, musician, and singer-songwriter whose work is shaped by a deep well of cultural heritage and creative expression.

Sahar studied Music Theatre at Elon University, before spending four years working at legendary record label Epic Records in both Los Angeles and New York. Her band Yeller Tooth, formed with husband Cameron Scoggins, is a folk project that explores their shared lexicon of the American South and world music. Their collaboration will make its Off-Broadway debut in the Fall of 2026. To learn more about Yeller Tooth, please visit here.
