   About Kat Drake
Two bands:
Cloak & Dagger: www.myspace.com/cloakndaggermusic
The Road to Xanadu: www.myspace.com/theroadtoxanadu

"A London based singer songwriter in her early twenties who makes regular performances across London. Kat’s beautiful ethereal voice shines on this ‘classical folk’ track. She is influenced by, amongst others, Eva Cassidy, Portishead and Joan Baez. But we think she has a style all her own."
(Review from: www.embercombe.co.uk)

"Hold my love" chosen as the first track on newly released fundraising compilation album "Notes for The Journey". Raising money for sustainable development initiative Embercombe.

Hey there

Check out my new video for the single 'Slow Me Down', it's pretty different from your usual 'rap vid', as I try not to take myself too seriously! Hope you enjoy the mutiple costumes, this vid was a bag a fun to make!



If the vid doesn't appear on your page just click this link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=117clUAxrd0

All the best

Greetings Kat,

I am so delighted to hear that you like the Avalon & the Sea painting, & it would be an honour if you used it for your Amazing song Avalon.
Go ahead! :)
I appreciate you putting a link to my page, I thank you.


I will definitely keep you posted about exhibitions (& new pieces).
Hopefully I'll have one back in England in a not so distant future :)

Have a most Wonderful day, & please do stay in touch.
