The young Australien Singer / Songwriter wrote her first original songs at the young age of only six - inspired by idols such as Simon & Garfunkel or Carly Simon. Her initial breakthrough came in 2004 after moving from from Sidney to Berlin.
Kat Frankie originally planned to only take a creative pause and stay in the German capital for one year. The divers, arty and lively atmosphere however inspired her to take the final step and actually make the long lived passion for music her profession. This decision was instantly crowned with success. Her first Berlin written song "The Wrong side of Midnight" was awarded with the Jaxtor-Award for young Australien songwriters. As one of the leading representatives of Neo-Folk she was portrayed for the Film "BerlinSong" which premiered at the 57. Berlinale and was released on DVD in September 2009.
With her crystal clear voice, her dynamic guitar-play and her clever song - writing full of drama and passion Kat Frankie can now look at a big and constantly growing fan base. Her debut album "Pocketknife" was released early 2008 and earned her enthusiastic critics. On her second album "the dance of a stranger heart" (released in october 2010/zellephan), Kat Frankie once more proves that she is the exceptionally gifted poet and brilliant vocalist the press makes her out to be. The musical influences on the album reach from Kate Bush to George Gershwin, and illustrious guests such as Rainy Orteca (Joan as Policewoman) on the bass guitar or Robert Kretzschmar (It's a musical) contribute to the animated atmosphere of this glamorously beautiful song indulgence.
