Artist History Kitto Foreword: The name Kitto belongs to…… Alt - mod female vocalist of the singer - songwriter genre. An androgenous vocal chameleon and queen of the quirky open chords, Kitto is indifferent to any comparison. A raw natural performer, she is constantly immersed in searching her psyche on stage. At the same time, she submits herself wholly as a metamorphic sound muse, placing freedom back into the hearts of an audience, who are mesmerised by her confrontational intimacy. Watching Kitto onstage is like witnessing music give birth in human form. Back and forth in Europe, Kitto (formerly from down under Australia now residing in Stockholm Sweden) has appeared at numerous festival and club stages, radio and media throughout Scandinavia, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, France as well as the occasional appearances in the US. Kitto ensures a sense of exhilarating rebirth of all senses. Her subject matter (aka lyrics) is usually observations or poetry drawn out of parables with prose such as " Did you ever know an idiot, a king or a queen? Did you take a joke in desperation or diplomacy?" "It's an incredible privilege to earn a life from music, to belong." Kitto Born: Wandin Victoria, Australia. Vocals, Acoustic & Electric Guitars. Music gender:Acoustic Alt- Rock / Mod-Folk. Inspired by artists: Beth Orton, Shane McGowan & The Pogues, Dixie Chicks, Seal, Stone Temple Pilots, HCP, Mix of 60's & 70's pop rock, Neil Young, Ricky Lee Jones, Leonard Coen, Susanna Vega, Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Mavis Staples, The Mac, Led Zeppelin.

Press Reviews There are those who are imprisoned by the standard and then there are those who define it.Kitto, Australian born singer, songster, guitarist; is at the right place and the right time in 2001, creating a music that inspires, excites and exclaims with every note & phrase and will also have you dancing in your pyjamas. Princess of Tragedy is the calling card of a unique artist who's roaring tidal wave of sound continues to splash around the globe. She pulls a trail of devoted fans with her tide, seduced by an independent / alternative sound demeanour and a style hard to resist once experienced. Her voice connects with a deep strength and perseverance that echo's the real truth of all womanhood. Kitto has embodied and mastered this communication within her songs. It is beauty...it is melody... it is bittersweet... it is vulnerable... it is wisdom... It is as impressive as Mother Nature's subtle gestures that always remind us she's here.Kitto is unforgettable!
