About Me
I've made music since my teens, having an older brother who had frequent band practice sessions in our home meant there was no escaping live music! I began writing poetry as a teenager which turned into lyrics when I started playing about on my brother's keyboards. And so the journey began! Playing jazz didn't happen until much later; in my 30's I attended a course on Jazz Improvisation and there I became hooked and eager to learn how to play and understand the chord structures and movement of jazz. I started playing with a fabulous big band, which forced me to read music and was an excellent introduction into the musical structure. Then I started performing as a duo with one of the guitarists from the big band, then we added double bass and became Kitty's Trio. We recorded 3 albums with the trio and 2 as a duo, and performed at Brecon Jazz festival a number of times. I also worked as a vocalist and saxophonist with other bands which helped develop my musicality. Then came Kitty's Little Big Band, an 8 piece jazz outfit designed for big band swing music events; we recorded one album and have a few videos on Youtube! Since 2020 I've dedicated my time to work on my original compositions. I finished an album here last year which is available on Bandcamp. I'm currently writing for the next album.
My Jazz Story
My House Concert Story
I arrived in Las Vegas in 2020, just before lockdown. I decided to stay on in the States as UK gigs were cancelled. I began making music in the garage in Vegas and this led to solo performance possibilities. Since July 2022 I've been traveling, make music on the road, finding house concert venues and intimate spaces to perform. I have a selection of releases on Youtube under @kittys-music
