Cousin Kate

About Me


COUSIN KATE are the complimenting voices of the twin sisters Corinna and Isabelle Cott. Their music genre is generally known as pop music with uplifting lyrics, meant to generate a positive feeling to the listener. Corinna and Isabelle are originally from Germany. Both their parents were singers and according to their mother, they were able to sing songs long before they could speak properly. By the age of 8 they were performing in front of audiences. Corinna and Isabelle spent ten years apart, both always involved with music. While Isabelle signed with the German record label 'Polydor', recording under the name 'Sunrise', Corinna met Brian Florian, with whom she formed a songwriting partnership, recording under the name 'Florian Cott'. When Isabelle joined the duo, COUSIN KATE began. Their song "Through The Air" is used in a TV show made for HBO that is airing internationally. Their songs 'Life Without Fear' and 'Up To You' are being used in an inspirational video from Stevie Zee, a young man who is suffering from cerebral palsy. Cousin Kate has written over 90 original songs and can be seen in and around the Los Angeles area.
