Katy Shotter, aka Kats, is a singer,musician and songwriter. After being classically trained on the piano at aged 4, music was the one only thing that Katy knew she wanted to do in her life. She taught herself how to sing in her bedroom by imitating greats such as Mariah, Whitney, Stevie and even Judy Garland (!) Her influences range from Ray Charles, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse to Erykha Badu, and she is constantly being inspired by new and old artists. Her love and passion for music shows throughout her songs, where the music ranges from Soul and Jazz, to Ska and Reggae, all with a Katy Shotter POP twist!
Her first big break into the industry was when she got picked to be in the final 8 for a reality show based in Houston, on Mathew Knowles' bootcamp (where he brought Destinys Child to fame). Katy went on to win the affections of Mathew and other big names, and won the show, resulting in a recording contract with Sony BMG, a management contract with Mathew, and the opportunity to support Beyonce Knowles on her UK tour. The next year was a whirlwind of recording sessions and interviews, and in June 2007, Katy supported Beyonce, first in Spain, then the UK. The tour went so well, that she got asked to join her in America and Canada for the next year. All Katy used was a keyboard and her voice, and that was enough to get her the recognition. She also supported Beyonce again for her special New Year show in Las Vegas 2008.
After parting ways with her record label for political reasons out of her control, Katy spent the next year writing, writing and more writing! After all, she had alot to talk about! She got her own 8 piece band together and wanted to recreate the old performance techniques of greats such as James Brown and Michael Jackson, by putting on a real show. Katy and the Shotters are now preparing for a showdown of gigs and Kats is now finally ready for the world.
