“Kate is as English as bread and butter pudding yet she has an American accent — a legacy of her time at international school in Austria. Her accent gives her a distinctly professional sound. I loved her rendition of Sexual Healing, very well re-worked.†&mdash Tim Bearder, BBC Oxford website, June 2005
you could say my début came almost by accident out of a favour for a friend, when i lent my vocal talent to the house track I Feel Love by State of Existence (which reached 7 in Music Week's House Chart) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kUIxyV3hu-w.I love musical challenges ie improv jazz,writing songs and working with other musicians. simple pure passion.

“Since opening The Punt in 2005 the intervening 18 months has seen Kate Chadwick finish her Brookes degree and a songwriting course working with the likes of Chris Difford. Her breezy lyrics, silver-wrapping, radio-friendly melodies remain though, while physically she’s grown into a willowy and sophisticated woman.†— Paul Carrera, Nightshift, March 2007
“…some dreamy acoustic singer-songwriter goodness on stage from Kate Chadwick. Kate sings her come-hither songs in a flexible, melting, transatlantic alto and rather delicious it all is too. There was even a successful cover of Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing (I never thought I’d ever write that sentence!). And then it all ended four songs in! Heartbreaking. Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen seems to be Kate’s watchword.†— Colin MacKinnon, OxfordBands.com, July 2007
