Hi, I'm Kate 👋

Words on their own aren't always enough to express how much you love someone - sometimes they have to be sung!
I'm a singer-songwriter from Plymouth, and I've been performing live for over seven years now in many different settings, with both function material and original music. Performing at weddings has been one of the most important ways for me to gain confidence in what I do and it always reassures me that I'm bringing joy to people's lives. I'm so lucky to do what I do, and I make sure I say thank you for it every day!
