Most people who hear Sarah K for the first time have a hard time believing that that voice comes out of her body. If you were to close your eyes, you would imagine a large buxom black woman in the glory days of Motown.

Sarah appreciates many contemporary R&B artists such as Alicia Keys, Lauren Hill and Joss Stone, but also has her ear tuned to the greats like Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan.
