Spirited, 22-year-old, Irish Australian singer songwriter, Kt, is no stranger to the entertainment space. Born in Australia and raised in the beautiful Wicklow mountains in Ireland, she trained in dance, drama, classical voice, piano and composition before moving to Leeds to study. She recently graduated with a degree in Popular Music from Leeds Conservatoire.
Kt is a songwriter who sounds completely in control of her sound and creative vision. Playful yet introspective, her songs embrace her favourite aspects from her classical training and reflects her love of jazz, blues, funk, rock and pop. Taking inspiration from artists like Ray Charles, Amy Winehouse, Imelda May, Adele and Etta James to name but a few, Kt has created her own unique blend with haunting melodies, deeply personal and relatable lyrics and a sassy sense of fun. After working with the brilliant producer, Gavin Ralston at Silverwood Studios (R.I.P) on ‘Save yourself’, he described her as, ‘a distinctive musical voice, like Dolores O’Riordan from The Cranberries.’
Offering unflinchingly honest depictions of modern relationships, her trademark soulful sounds speak of messy breakups, self-doubt and loss. Channelling empowerment and ‘unapologetic self-confidence through candid lyrics’ (Notion), Kt continues to build momentum following her debut single, Save Yourself, ‘a beguiling offering’ (Notion) and I’m Damn Fine, a ‘must-listen … powerful anthem of self-love and self-acceptance’ (Wordplay) with her new sassy soulful cut, Fickle Friend. Aimed at a friend who has broken her trust, Kt’s ramping up boss-energy in this fresh, attitude-filled, break-up single, produced by Dave Skelton.
Demo singles sparkle with promise. Goodbye Farewell featuring CAMMY, is raw, mature and heartfelt. With a relaxed vibe, 2 Minute Guy cheekily is a call to all women to speak up for what they want sexually.
Kt is accomplished at ballet, drama and musical theatre and has been performing in choirs and studying music since age 5. In 2013, for performance in singing and piano, she was awarded a Wesley College music scholarship. She studied classical voice under Mary Brennan, piano under Izumi Kimura and composition under Dr. Jesse Ronneau. A love of literature and poetry sparked an interest in lyric writing which was an easy jump into song-writing.
Kt is now preparing to release her debut EP, Pixels, in 2024. The tracks never lose sight of Kt’s desire to relate as a friend, to be a pressure tonic and to be an advocate for empowerment.

“... intelligent and musical ... very committed to her singing ... a gifted composer” - Mary Brennan
“... imaginative and expressive musician and songwriter” - Izumi Kimura
