Katherine Bailess was born and grew up in Vicksburg, Mississippi and started entertaining as soon as she could step out on the stage. Like many artists, Kat didnt limit her focus to one of her talents, but instead chose to cultivate many of her talents by studying and seeking a career in acting, dance and music. Kat truly epitomizes the meaning of a triple threat. Kat began studying classical dance at age 4 and was dancing professionally by the time she was 11. Dance however, was not enough so Kat began voice lessons at age 14. During high school, Kat began acting as well. Naturally, Broadway beckoned, and what better place for an actor/dancer/singer? After attending many Broadway workshops in NYC and dancing with Ballet Mississippi throughout high school, Kat moved to NYC to attend Marymount Manhattan College on a Dance and Musical Theatre scholarship. While in school Kat continued to pursue her dream and went to study at the William Esper Studio for Acting. In New York, Kat danced in numerous theatrical productions, and began to act in film and television. After graduation, Kat moved to Los Angeles and immediately began adding screen credits in both television and film to her bio such as Bring it on Again in 2002. Then, in 2002, Kat landed the role of the villainess in the 20th Century Fox Production of From Justin to Kelly, a motion picture-musical. This was the first time Kat acted, danced, and recorded a song for the soundtrack of a movie all at once. This experience made her realize she really loves to do all three, and if you dont have to choose one, why do it? Since From Justin to Kelly, Kat has appeared on the popular WB series One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls. Kat also stars in the newly released 2006 motion picture, Sea of Fear. Currently Kat is busy shooting the Fox television show The Loop which will return for its second season in 2007. Never one to neglect her passion for music, Kat is also currently getting back to her Mississippi roots by writing and performing original songs for her upcoming Country/Crossover CD. She credits her southern upbringing for her love of county music and counts Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Faith Hill, Randy Travis and George Straight as just a few of her inspirations. Her smoky voice is perfect for the sultry sounds of her modern country lyrics sprinkled with just a hint of nostalgia.
