Band Members: Me, Myself and I....I am a singer and songwriter based in central London. I have been singing forever and ever and have been lucky enough to work with some real talents along the way. For over four years I have been a part of the CK GOSPEL CHOIR (www.ckgospelchoir.com). We are amazing. FACT ------- I also sing BVs for UK Latin Soul artist, all round entertainer and good friend HARLANO, GRACE OBIKA and mega talented LOUISE GOLBEY (all in my top friends so take a listen!) ----- I have had the privilege to work with such artists as Russell Watson, Marsha Ambrosius and Beverley Knight and have even sung for a Royal. ----- At the moment, I am writing and recording a whole lot of new songs with my acoustic guitarist DAN DE PASQUALE. I have found my sound!! So bear with me...it will be here soon! ----- My track - "Take Me In" with Dezz Jones - is signed to the Wideboys/GarageJams and is doing the rounds on a few Ministry of Sound compilations and I was in the final 15 of Hugo Urban Rules in 2008. ----- I have performed at The Royal Opera House, The Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scotts and The Jazz Cafe to name the big ones!....as long as I enjoy it I will keep going. Keep improving, learning and meeting amazing musicians! ----- If you like what you hear so far let me know... Much love and thanks for listening, Sarah xx

Sounds Like: ..DJ MAGAZINE 2009: Dezz Jones & Sarah Blake - Take Me In (Remixes) (Subjams)"Already featured on numerous albums and mixtapes spanning the UKG spectrum, 'Take Me In' first hit the streets of Leeds and Sheffield in 2004/2005 in the bags of Shaun Banger Scott, Nev Wright and Jamie Duggan, courtesy of the 'Dr Venom Remix'. After uncountable rewinds, fast-forward to 2009 and Dezz Jones's bassline anthem gets the remix treatment from Lee Viner, D&G and The Wideboys. Viner opts for a two-step/funky 4/4 vibe, which will please the London fraternity."
