About Me

Consistently active in the performing arts from an early age, Kat has always harbored a love of entertaining especially through the act of song. Citing influences from the Empress of Soul Etta James to the poetic Jill Scott, her taste for soulful tones and jazzy grooves creep into her own music. Singing from the age of seven, music and song-writing have always provided a vehicle for repressed frustrations, elevating joy and all those things in between. Brought up on eclectic styles of music, it isn't the genre that matters, but the emotion that reaches beyond the music.During Kats musical career she has also looked to her Greek roots for inspiration and has become well known in her community as an artist; Winning 1st place at the New Talent contest organised in conjunction with The Cyprus Wine Festival at Alexander Palace in 2001.While studying Commercial Music at Westminster University Kat also received a 2 year scholarship with the Westminster Voices Gospel Choir; recording with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for Shirley Thompsons New Nation Rising EP released in 2004.It was also at Westminster that Kat met Fusing Naked Beats production duo DJ Asif and DJ MRT (www.fusingnakedbeats.co.uk) and has collaborated with them as singer/song-writer on a number of tracks including Downtown Heat, Glimmer and Craving.Kat is currently working on new material for her EP 'Back To The Source'.There is still more to come so watch this spaceFor more information on Kat: www.kat-music.co.uk
