Catey discovered her natural talent and love of music through her close relationship with her Grandfather who was a radio host and songwriter in Syracuse. He would only play Catey’s requests if she stood up on her chair and sang with him which always ended with an amazed crowd.
After writing 2 songs on a toy ukulele that was left at her house, her father bought her a real one for her 18th birthday which she still plays to this day in New York City subways.
Catey’s influences include Billie Holiday and Bob Marley which is evident in her vocal style and approach to adapting and writing songs on the ukulele.
Catey considers herself a true artist and speaks the languages of both music and visual art with equal passion and many of her songs have been crafted around her own sketches and paintings.
