About Me

Kato Blue - Lyricist/Songwriter/Singer/Artist Developement/Label Owner******************************************************* ************************************************************ ************* ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** This child of the eighties, a native of Dallas, Texas; currently resides in downtown Chicago where this young latin songslinger writes, records and co-engineers her own original material. During her youth Kato embraced the likes of famous greats as Etta James to Madonna with a special place in her musical heart for Annie Lennox.***************************************************** ************************************************************ *************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********Kato has been often compared to today's hitmakers ala "Dido" with a splash of "Portishead" and a twist of "Shakira". This young songstress captivates her listeners with her enchanting vocals & sophisticated style. Kato Blue is much more than a proverbial "Pretty Face" She creates a musical ambience of intelligence that reveals the power and unique command of pop music. "Everyone has a message in life it's just a matter of how you leave it, is how you'll be remembered", she replies.**************************************************** ************************************************************ **************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** As a bright new artist of 2002, teaming up with Tommy Roberson (Dragon Claw Productions); She has already made her mark in the club scene and fashion show industry. She took on the mission of writing & composing 4 thirty minute songs all to be synchronized to the 4 large fashion shows in Chicago which lead to air-time on B-96 & 92.7 Energy.***************************************************** ************************************************************ *************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********In 2003 Kato Blue was featured as one of Chicago's unsigned Top 10 artists on the Chicago's "Repossessed" album. Kato was chosen to be 1 of the 17 artist out of almost 1200 bands/artists' that were screened for this process. The song "In a Digital World" landed her a spot on this CD along with My Delusion, Garbo Swag, Jill Dawson, Planet Strange and a host of other extremely talent acts. (Can be purchased at www.amazon.com and www.itunes.com also.******************************************************* ************************************************************ ************* ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** In late 2004 and early 2005, Kato was a busy bee writing songs and working on the long awaited debut album dubbed "Katology" 16 songs total. The songs "Lost and Found" and "Figment of my Imagination" were highly praised by many of the Gods of Music from all 4 corners of this country. Need I say that all songs being written by Kato herself had already began to impress the world.****************************************************** ************************************************************ ************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** By fall of 2005 she began was co-writing on the music end of this with Tommy for her 1st major network job. The duo landed 11 songs from "Ice Queen Dream" on 5 different "Urban Explorer" programs for "The Discovery Channel"; featuring more songs than any other artist used for those 5 shows. Kato's "Benetton Blue" had a prime spot in the Chicago show when the 3 adventurers broke in to the uptown theatre to show the inside. Totally friggen cool. Playing our tune when names of Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, MC5 and a ton of other great artists names are being mentioned. BAM! Benetton Blue as the background music - Great start! Oh Yeah!******************************************************* ************************************************************ ************* ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** By April 2006 she had set her sites on her next release and is presently working on her latest 2007 CD "Dragonism" set for release by mid May under her own label "Contrasongs". This sophmoric effort is promised to be packed with twice the punch. So as far as this talented, young gun there is no doubt she has what it takes to deliver the goods. Anyone who has heard her passionate delivery would agree.****************************************************** ************************************************************ ************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** (MOVIE NEWS) "The Immigrant" March 8th, 2007 has been another ground breaking day for Kato and it's about time. The film "The Immigrant" has picked up 3 songs from Kato ( LOST & FOUND ) ( I DID'NT DO IT ) ( CIRCUMSTANCES ) will be used in the film. These were all songs written, performed and recorded by Kato along with Tommy Roberson.*************************************************** ************************************************************ ***************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ *********www.femalemusicans.net Link to:KatoBlue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OTHER WEBSITES WITH KATOBLUE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.itunes.com.............................................. ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................. www.amazon.com.............................................. ............................................................ ............................................................ .............................. www.katoblue.com............................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .................... www.music.com/katoblue...................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................... www.showcaseyourmusic.com................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ....................... www.unitingbands.com........................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................. www.shoutmouth.com.......................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................ www.yourmusicinmovies.com................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................ www.youemerge.com........................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................ www.starextras.com.......................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................... www.allmusicstudio.com...................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ...................
