Music

An American singer songwriter living in Sierra Leone, Kate’s folk orchestral sound combines layered vocal harmonies with poignant and honest lyrics about the human condition. Some of her songs blend these styles with Afrobeats, brass band, and funk influences. She is a co-founder of Telem Uncommon Sounds, an initiative designed to support and showcase unique and innovative musicians in Freetown. Kate is currently working on her premiere EP, a set of “music rituals,” to be released in 2024.

Her music can be found on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Soundcloud, and Instagram, among other platforms. She was selected as one of 70 participants from 23 countries around the world for the 2023 Global Musicians Workshop, an initiative founded by Yo-Yo Ma to bring about greater cross-cultural understanding through music.
