The Reflection Box is the name of the musical act created by songwriter; session musician and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Cullen.

The album features 8 original songs written by Sarah and one cover, all arranged by Sarah herself. The songs deal with the universal themes of love, loss, hope and human connection. The songs vary from piano ballads to more complicated atmospheric pieces - written, arranged and performed by the singer and recorded in Amberville Studios and Attica Audio; the album is the diverse musical expressions of a single personality, hence The Reflection Box.

Reared in a musical family in rural Donegal, Ireland and having publicly performed various styles of music from a very young age, Sarah possesses a wealth of musical experience in both composition and performance; covering an eclectic range of styles from traditional Irish, through classical, and contemporary, to blues, folk and Americana.
