Powerful, expressive, flexible vocals with an irresistibly smooth tone. Specialising in jazz, swing, Latin, Gypsy & blues. Kate has been compared to Billie Holiday, Eva Cassidy & Amy Winehouse. As a songwriter Kate was supported by PRS for Music back in 2017. Kate's lyrics are compelling, poetic & have the ability to make you both laugh & cry.
“Pink Martini, Billie Holiday, Astrud Gilberto and Tom Waits walk into a ... festival!"

When you find your singer - you laugh, you shout "Yes!" and you understand that here is the person, the talent that you were looking for your entire life and there is a hope that now your song will shoot to the sky like it was supposed to.
That's what happens when Kate Thomas sings your song. That's what Kate is about - she brings life, sparks, and stars to your art - because that what she is - a true genius of singer and performer.
