Artist description ...a songwriter enveloped with distinct character. Fresh, musically compelling songs and arrangements. Vivid imagery, poetic, a lyrical writer fascinated with the architecture of words. Her songs are as much paintings as they are personal reflections on life. Kat sings with a pure, grounded, and powerfully resonating voice. Her music embodies a dynamic personality, her creative insights and her humility grace every patient detail of these songs....Kat Terran plays her guitar with grace and ease, daring to navigate through rhythmic channels and melodic kalidescopes.
