Sarah K is a 25 year old R&B singer from North Vancouver, Canada who first started writing songs at age 13. Her aspiration quickly grew from writing songs to performing live, and now to become a successful recording artist. Sarah K's most influential singer has always been Mariah Carey; her inspirational lyrics and Cinderella story continue to give Sarah K the hope and confidence to achieve her own dreams. 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. All are important influences that help Sarah K shape her sound.Sarah K's first live performances were at Capilano College Theater in North Vancouver at age 15. “Performing my own songs on stage made me realize my childhood dreams can come true”. After catching the performance bug, she entered numerous local and national talent and singing competitions and wowed audiences with her soulful voice. Sarah K continued to write music that reflected her journey and started associating herself with other local recording/performing artists who were pursuing an inspired career in the music industry. She spends as much time as she can in the studio learning the process of composing and recording music and has refined and recorded her own songs.
