About Me


.Growing up outside of Chicago, Cat was always surrounded by amazing music and culture. Soaking up her creative surroundings and finding inspiration in her influences, Cat began singing and dancing when she was a little girl and has never quit. Since then, Cat has performed, studied and recorded music in every genre. From performing Opera as a coloratura soprano, to singing in a Jazz group, to performing in various Musical Theater productions, to writing and performing as the lead vocalist in a Rock band, to writing and recording with various R&B and Hip Hop producers- Cat has extensive experience as a vocalist. Cat has also studied with some of the most renowned vocal coaches in Los Angeles, including Seth Riggs (coach for artists such as Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Prince... ).
Cat learned to move her body in numerous ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance classes, which helped to influence her more soulful style. She additionally learned to write her own songs after studying piano, and realizing that she preferred the freedom of creating her own material.
Cat feels most alive and engaged in what is real when she is in the role of performer- when she is open and sharing of herself, and exposing that level of vulnerability necessary to truly connect with those willing be a part of what she has to say.
