Born In Louisiana, Raised In New York, Based In London.

Kate’s southern country-folk roots come from her father, an important early musical influence – he once played guitar with Hank Williams on the famous Louisiana Hayride, where Elvis and Johnny Cash started out.

Kate’s emotional and seductive vocals take you into a world of private beauty, reflection and feelings. The music is always intimate and evocative – you listen and want to be there.

“I hope that whatever people get from the music, they’ll be moved. I hope that they’ll find something that is beautiful and truthful. I don’t think that you can connect with any real emotion without truth.”

A journalist for the Observer said: "Kate Ellis writes hauntingly beautiful songs, I'm a fan!" While BBC Radio Ulster commented: "Kate Ellis put down her law degree to pick up a guitar – thank God she did!".

"Carve Me Out" was the debut record from Kate Ellis, her forthcoming sophomore album is called “Spirals”.
