Bio - A Brief History of a Kat and Her Music

My mother instilled a love of music deep in my soul from an early age.  As soon as I could reach the keys, I was sitting at the piano, plunking out songs I knew and making up my own.  I taught myself how to read music from an old book found at a yard sale, and from there, my obsession with all things musical continued to gain steam.  I took music lessons in various instruments including viola, clarinet, and flute through my grade school years, and picked up my first guitar at age 12.  I composed dozens of songs throughout my teenage years, most of which will never see the light of day if I have anything to say about it.  But these early musical meanderings set the stage for a lifetime of creating, pointing me towards the ever-changing path I walk today.

My first "real" band was called Twelve Days Dry, and we played a great many shows in small venues around Columbus, Ohio beginning in January of 1997.  Due to the bizarre proclivities of our musicians moving to foreign countries (including Israel and Texas - yes, Texas is a foreign country), the band broke up in December of 1998.

I moved to Northern Virginia in June of 2003, and found a weekly solo acoustic gig at the Bistrot Lafayette Lounge, in Old Town Alexandria.  That lasted almost five months, but died when the Lounge closed in February 2004.  I am currently investigating a few musical prospects, and looking for a band and/or solo gig opportunities.
