COUNT BASIC - Kelli Sae and Peter Legat

"Kelli's... songs cut deep into your heart and soul, and gives you a window not only into Kelli's world but a new perspective into your own".

"Kelli...has a penchant for blending swaggering Funk and R&B with traditional Latin music, utilizing a voice that is, by turn, wonderfully subtle and startlingly gritty.The depth and realness of her performance and songwriting is undeniable and downright intoxicating. You’re pulled into Sae’s world within seconds”
