Kathy Sanborn is a versatile singer-songwriter and author known for her smooth blend of jazz, adult contemporary, and soul influences. With a career spanning multiple decades, she's crafted a signature sound that marries sultry vocals with introspective lyrics, often exploring themes of love, relationships, and social consciousness.
