Sara Sinha

Lead guitarist, songwriter and singer with UK rock group Wish. Born in Whiston, Merseyside on February 25th, 1978, the eldest daughter of the 5th Baron Sinha. The family title was awarded to Sara's great grandfather, Satyendra Prasanno Sinha, 1st Baron Sinha, who was the Undersecretary of State for India in Britain: his signature was present on the Treaty of Versailles. Sara therefore holds the hereditary title 'The Honourable', however has never experienced the aristocratic wealth that her elder relatives grew up with, insisting that this is long dead.
