The Gig Cartel - Artist profiles: Kate Walsh

If forgoing the telly is one marker of her individuality, another, more significant one is Kate’s debut album proper. The 24 year old classically trained pianist and accomplished guitarist has produced a soothing, richly sensual work. Packing heart-stoppingly beautiful songs - if ‘Your Song’ and ‘Tonight’ don’t move you we respectively suggest you check your pulse – the album has maturity and finesse way beyond Kate’s years.

She captured the No.1 slot on iTunes UK Hot 100 albums recently with ‘Tim’s House’ With her No.1 here and Top 10 iTunes across Europe then a No.1 on the US iTunes Folk Chart, Kate quickly became the talk of the global music industry, leapfrogging over established artists such as Kaiser Chiefs, Arcade Fire and Amy Winehouse through the massive word-of-mouth digital buzz.

 ‘Her halting vocals evoke the more rueful reveries of Joni Mitchell.’ The Guardian
