Kat Nestel Bio/Background:
Kat believes that her sole purpose in this life is to make music, sing and share it with the world! Drawing an abundance of inspiration from her boundless and mature beyond her years life experience, Kat’s music is rhythmic, rebellious, confessional, playful, funky and emotional.
Kat headed to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to audition for Season 9 of American Idol and won the Golden Ticket to Hollywood. Kat really made an impression on the judges. Simon Cowell said her voice was great and unique, she was intriguing and she had a great personality. Randy was diggin her, Kara thought she was adorable and Special Guest judge Avril Lavigne said, I personally think you’re sick! To the judges ultimate dismay Kat bowed out of the competition before it really began. Trading in the hoopla that is American Idol in exchange for making it on her own terms!
By this time Kat had already generated a buzz and caught the ear of local studio owner and producer/engineer Lewis Richards of 17th Street Studios. Lewis set up jam sessions with KAT, newcomer Rome Ramirez and Eric Wilson of Sublime which were posted to youtube and have since amassed a great deal of viewers for their rendition of “Saw Red”. Some of Kat’s original music can be heard on her various social networking sites. Kat continues to perform locally as often as possible and has plans to record a full length studio album in the fall. This vibrant and tenacious young lady has an astonishing voice, fresh appearance and brilliant ability to write songs that girls around the globe can relate to and sing along with!
