Hailing from south-east London, Kate’s early American hip-hop influences are heard throughout her music and can be traced back to her early days as an rapper. The mighty Wu-Tang Clan were a big influence on Kate as was Jay Electronica and UK hip-hop group Task Force. The flavour these influences add to her music have gained her huge respect from the global hip hop community. Since then she has built a loyal following from touring the spoken word circuit for a number of years and playing countless live shows that have seen her take to the stage at Glastonbury and all major UK festivals.
