About me
Hi I'm Kate, I am a singer-songwriter/composer, performer, and music teacher.
I compose progressive-pop story-songs and illustrate them with music that fuses Celtic-folk, Classical, Electronic, Musical theatre and Progressive rock.
Inspired by Artists such as Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Björk, Paul Kelly, Claud-Michael Schoenberg, Debussy and Mike Oldfield.
I have written a large collection of songs that push the boundaries of pop.
I have been performing for over 20 years in corporate/cover acts and original bands. I have recorded 2 Albums and 3 EPs, created a series of original and corporate cabaret shows and produced a number of film clips.
I began studying classical Piano and voice at an early age and later moved to contemporary/rock singing. Actively seeking training from multiple teachers my aim was to develop a voice that fuses pop and rock sounds with classical sounds. Using soaring highs mid-range belts and husky lows I aim to best express the full range of feelings in the songs I compose record and perform.
Over the years I have been fortunate to perform across Australia and in some parts of Asia and the US to audiences from 20 to 20,000 people. Having signed and been released by 4 independent labels in the past 20 years I am now proud to be a fully independent artist.
