Artist description Catbaby's sound is inspired by composers such as Cole Porter and Gershwin as well as contemporary bands like The Gorillaz, Beck, B-52's, and anything we consider cool or groovy; known and unknown bands alike. Laurie’s velvety voice echoes of a 21st century Shirley Bassey sung over hip grooves, creating a danceable riot of sound. Her high caliber vocal is equal to the great singers of a lost era.

Artist History Catbaby began in the spring of 2000 when Laurie Gordon met Mikey Benn at a London nightclub.

Their first experiment "Swim Swim" was written and recorded in less then three hours...whoa!

Group Members The members of Catbaby are from all different parts of the world including the UK, Hungary and Bulgaria. Mikey Benn has had success with various musical projects throughout the UK and Europe, as well as a number one record in Japan with Kiss Of Life. He has produced artists such as Beth Orton, Lamb and Galliano. He is currently producing UK garage tracks, some of which recently aired on Top of the Pops. Laurie is a classically trained singer. She has been writing, singing and performing professionally fo r many years. She is half the core of the band Chiwawa with whom she has released three albums. Krassy is an accomplished bass player. His Eastern European background and groove master bass approach make Catbaby roar.
