"What inspires me is all the beauty and disgust, pleasure and suffering, truth and deceit, love and hate, giving and taking, earning and stealing, creating and destroying, hurting and healing that goes on within the stretches of time between life and death. "~KK

A strong, clear and penetrating voice with wide range and versatility that has often been described as having the combined vocal qualities of artists such as Sarah McLaughlin, Loreena Mckennitt, Enya, K.D. Lang, Lisa Gerrard and Diana Krall. A bit of alternative folk with a tendency for jazzy, bluesy, reggae and middle eastern flurries to seep through. Moody lyrics that resonate with the deep rooted emotional and societal issues that affect and plague us all, yet still search for and conclude with optimistic resolutions.
