Originally from Middlesbrough, UK, Cat started singing backing vocals for local artists and churches at 12 years old. After finishing music college at 17, Cat started gigging, taking musical inspiration from Whitney Houston, Sia, Lauryn Hill, and Sting. You can hear the soul, pop and epic vocals of these artists come through in her sound. Singing for various albums and other artists, her favorite performance was a Nashville gospel choir performance for 800 homeless men - a moment that marked her with the drive to bring hope and encouragement to anyone who hears her voice.
