Artist description Prince of Cats (aka Colin Ready-Evoy) is a self-taught Canadian singer/songwriter currently living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Given the gift of a stadium-sized voice, Colin has been singing professionally(?) since 1990 and has developed into a fine and versetile singer ....the songs ain't bad either ;) Colin tries to balance the madness of life with with a generous sense of humour and faith in His Holiness The Dalai Lama and the precious teachings of the Buddha (and pot).

Artist History The kid's been around for a while; singing for bands in Toronto (confused psychedelic grungers Elation Wavepaint, bitchin' neo-jangly power-poppers Scarlet) and Calgary, Alberta (early-90's grungers, Meeting Marisa). He has now cut the apron strings, so to speak and is one his merry way to singer/songwrtier guydom. In this past hot and terrible summer in Toronto, Colin's been playing more or less exclusively solo with friends dropping by here and there. With the recording of a new EP he will be gigging with fresh new bandmates very soon.

Group Members Colin and whover he can trick into gigging and recording with him. Most recently he recorded a session, which became Colin's first official solo effort under the name Prince of Cats, "GOLD KEY ep", with Pope Factory's Andre Skinner on drums at the Exhaust System in Toronto.

Instruments Vocals, quatar, guitar, bass guitar, harmonica, percussion...learning piano and melodica.....
