Artist description Catherine is a Vocalist/Songwriter with a strong background in the fundamentals of composing and producing music. She started out playing guitar and soon moved on to the intriguing field of writing dance music using a variety of synthesizers and samplers. From that time until now, she has been taking classes in music theory, recording and electronic music while working on projects with record companies, singers, remixers and writers to create music to challenge the senses. Her writing has a Euro - feel, but often calls upon all styles of music to produce a masterpiece of sound and meaning. In this new information age, she is venturing into "cyber space" by collaborating over the net. Her sampler and synthesizers are getting very little rest these days...

Press Reviews Here are some comments from the press on my work on Shadow with Blake Chen: "... a stunning blend of dark acoustic singer/songwriter traits and electronic beats..." St. Louis Noisy Paper "...dark and brooding..." A. Magazine "... a feel for both the dance floor and the boudoir..." Graffiti Entertainment Guide "... Written in Blood and Bad Karma are pumped up dance anthems [with] haunting lyrics and hooky choruses..." Scissors "... all of the brilliance of [Lou] Reed's songwriting... acoustic guitars and drum loops blend seamlessly with romantic, self-mocking, and witty prose... a grace reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies." Ann Arbor CURRENT "... full-blown sonic anthems for the [new] century." Singapore Straits Times "... haunting... provocative..." Detroit Free Press "... nifty techno soundscapes... archetypal soul-bare confessionals... a strange, intriguing dish." 8 Days Singapore "... a breath of fresh air... [Chen's] voice is a deep baritone that moves effortlessly from style to style... an album that is uncompromising in it's ability to keep you guessing." Real Detroit Weekly
