Kat Eaton

When singer Kat Eaton is feeling down, a very simple remedy helps her: making music. Suddenly, her problems seem less significant, and her gloomy moods fade away. This self-therapy also has a healing effect on others. Her soul-soothing songs—blending soul, blues, jazz, and gospel—have everything the heart and mind could desire: sensitive, profound lyrics, honesty, a message, and emotional power.

A critic once wrote about Kat Eaton—who hails from Cardiff, grew up in Sheffield, and now lives in London—that she sounds as if she grew up in a gospel church but spent her evenings in a smoky soul joint. Anyone who has listened to Kat’s new album, *What Happens Now*, can surely confirm this description.

The stylistic hybrid that Kat Eaton embodies is likely due to her father’s extensive record collection, which included everything that defines Black music. Later, Kat Eaton honed her musical profile alongside Jools Holland, Gregory Porter, Paul Carrack, and Marc Broussard, and refined her songwriting skills as a co-writer for Caro Emerald and Ruby Turner.
