Music Experience

“While my sporting career was my focus growing up, I was also listening to music, singing along and doing the dance moves. Music has always played a big part of my life. It was only 5 years ago when I realised that my singing was the most important thing in my life”.

From that moment Cat hasn't looked back. In 2005 Cat travelled extensively across outback Australia on the Brian Young Tour, and was nominated for numerous Australian Independent Music Awards.

Cat has recently returned from the USA where she performed in New York and Nashville, and recorded her upcoming Debut album with Award winning Producer Terry Sawchuk. The album will feature 10 songs, two co-written by Cat, and the remaining 8 written by Nashville's top song writers. Featuring on the album are some of Nashville's A list Musicians, helping Cat to produce a top quality Pop/Rock Contemporary sound. Cat is always excited when returning to the USA, to perform, promote and songwrite. Cat is also planning a Europe trip in 2010.

Cat is always honing her skills as a songwriter, and enjoys performing. Cat has travelled to the Middle East where she performed for Australian and other coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. She also attracted huge crowds at New Caledonia’s largest festival, the Bourail Fouir. Cat has performed at Major festivals in Australia, with much success, as well as performing at major corporate events, including the Opening Ceremony for the World Police and Fire Games and Adelaide Crows Football Club events. Cat is also the Face of the DARE Styling Iron, and is a proud ambassador for Variety the Children’s Charity. In 2009 Cat was the 'Face of the Balaklava Cup'; one of South Australia's more highly regarded horse racing carnivals.

Cat is launching into the next phase of her career with a fresh and new invigorated sound and stage performance; paving the way for the release of her debut album which will ride off the back of her very successful EP’s in 2010. Her new band features some of the biggest names in the Australian Music Industry, giving her a driving edge.
