Bio Information
Welsh singer/songwriter Kate Westall began her career at 16 singing for Swing/Jazz Big Band ‘The Skyliners’. Ever since then, Kate has embraced many genres of music and lent her versatile voice to sing and co-write with a diverse mix of U.K. artists, DJs and producers, such as EMI CMG signed DJ Andy Hunter on his most recent EP 'Life'.
Since moving to London to further her career in music, Kate developed a unique acoustic sound flavoured with folk, soul, jazz and rock, and soon established herself on the live music circuit playing alongside artists such as Marva King, Jahaziel, Alex Holland, Sophie Serafino and MOBO Award winners ’07; G-Force. Kate also works as a session singer and soloist for Mill Lane Gospel Choir who recently supported rock band Delirious? at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
Other work to date has included composing and performing the sound score for an exciting piece by contemporary dance company, Ajose-Cutting Dance. This collaboration of music and dance called 'Base', premiered London in February '07, toured New York and the U.K. at notable venues such as Birmingham Hippodrome and London’s Royal Opera House.
Kate's pure, dulcet tones and uplifting melodies frequently charm her audience, and this ‘airy vocalist’ (as described by The Times) is no doubt destined for great things so keep watching this space!
