best of me." Filled with a passion for song, an astonishing animated style, a spirited
sense of humor, and that remarkable laugh, Kat takes the stage and makes magic
happen.
Kat has performed with solo pianists, big bands, and full symphony orchestras. She
sang the score to a ballet production of Porgy and Bess to rave reviews. Out of
