About Me

Katy Butler, Devon born and London raised, has been playing the violin since she was 6 and singing since she could make a sound.She didn't stop there and by the age of 14 she was able to play the Clarinet, Saxophone, Flute and Guitar (she took up the whistle when she was 18!). A Classically trained composer by trade (currently studying for her masters in composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the City of London), Katy's innovative and creative approach to arrangements has made working for her New Album "Whispers and Lies" (due for release Spring 2009) a very exciting project. Katy's voice has been described as "rich and has an amazing range" and also as "great tone and emotional connection with the music". Katy is a sensitive musician and knows when to let rip with the fiddle, flute or whistle. Multi talented and a great performer, Katy Butler is a new artist to watch out for!Katy Butler Interview April 2008
