About Kate Westall
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.
Since moving to London to further her career in music, Kate has gained much experience singing jazz and a broad range of acoustic easy listening to diners in the West End as well as continuing her passion for singing at people’s special occasions and events.
Being a songwriter, Kate has developed a unique acoustic sound flavoured with folk, soul and blues, and has established herself on London’s live music circuit playing alongside artists such as Marva King (Prince), Rad (Prince) and Yolanda Brown (MOBO award winner; Best Jazz ‘08 and ‘09).
Other work to date has included composing the sound score for an exciting piece by contemporary dance company, Ajose-Cutting Dance. Kate performed this collaboration of music and dance called ‘Base’, in 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.
