Cat’s adventures started in 2005 touring throughout rural and remote communities of Australia with the Brian Young Tour following the footsteps of Beccy Cole and Troy Cassar-Daley.

The spotlight then focused on the release of her debut 5 track EP So Far. The title track Big Girl Now was the perfect introduction to Cat’s world – contemporary and strong – making Top 20 on the Top 100 Country Hits and No. 25 on the CMC Video Chart. Another track That’s The Kinda Man I’m Looking For also received strong chart support.

2006 started with a bang, after Cat was named Toyota Star Maker. When she released the official Toyota Star Maker EP titled Last First Kiss, the response proved once again why Cat is Australia’s best new talent. This EP shows the growth in Cat as an artist, with original songs Last First Kiss and Skin Deep, penned by herself and talented writers Jay Collie and Jasper Somerville-Collie. The EP also features Cat’s version of the classic Slim Dusty song Memories And Dreams. Also plucking Big Girl Now and That’s The Kinda Man I’m Looking For from the So Far EP, rounded off the Toyota Star Maker release for 2006. Cat has also released a film clip for the single Last First Kiss on Foxtel’s Country Music Channel (CMC). Once again Cat’s music got massive amounts of airplay on country and commercial radio stations Australia wide. Cat had her first Top 10 song on the Top 30 Country Tracks Charts with Last First Kiss, this only confirming that Cat has a huge future within Australian Country Music and internationally. Cat also hit the AIR Charts with the EP Last First Kiss Debuting at No. 18.

Media are eager to get a taste of this young star, with appearances on Southern Cross Ten’s State Focus, Channel 7, 9, 10, Prime and NBN News, ABC Radio’s Saturday Night Country and featured in country music magazines Capital News and Country Update, Stock Journal, Advertiser, plus major metropolitan and regional radio stations and newspapers.

Cat’s future in Country Music is looking very promising, with her contemporary new and individual style. She is a vibrant performer and is recognised for her sizzling and high energy shows and for her ability to capture her audiences.
