Hetty Kate is a jazz vocalist who makes people feel at home - whether she's performing in a Paris jazz club, on a festival stage in Japan, or in a concert hall with a full symphony orchestra.
Raised in England and Australia, she came up through Melbourne's jazz scene the old-fashioned way - learning the tradition night after night. She spent five years touring with James Morrison, performed as a featured soloist with symphony orchestras across Australia and beyond, and has released eleven albums spanning Western Swing to Modern Jazz. US critic Will Friedwald calls her "one of the best swing-style vocalists on the current scene."
Now based in Paris and touring across twenty-eight countries, her current project Jazz in Four Seasons is a four-album series recorded in four different cities around the world. Volume 1, Spring, recorded in Prague with Czech musicians, is out now.
Hetty's performances are known for creating a sense of shared joy that lingers long after the music ends.
