About
About Me
I've been passionate about music for as long as I can remember, so becoming a musician was a no-brainer to me.
I grew up listening to a wide variety of music, from classic rock to contemporary pop to Opera. As I began to develop my own sound and style, I drew inspiration from many of those artists, like Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Whitney Houston, Brandi Carlile, and even rock bands like Queen and Aerosmith, blending catchy melodies with emotionally rich lyrics and fresh beats.
I'm dedicated to constantly pushing myself to grow and evolve. Whether I'm writing new material, experimenting with different sounds and techniques in the studio, or honing my skills as a live performer, I'm always striving to be the best I can be.
When I'm not making music, you can usually find me practicing Aerial arts, making cakes, painting miniatures or engaging in some kind of digital art. I believe that it's important to nurture all aspects of your life, and I find that pursuing other passions helps keep me inspired and energized as an artist.
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit about me! If you have any questions or would like to connect, please don't hesitate to reach out!

My Discography
Black Sheep
Black Sheep is a 5 song EP that continues my journey through themes that are important to me: finding where you belong, avoiding energy that seeks to harm you, and embracing the beauty and the pain of being neurodivergent. This music is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. It's time to celebrate who you are, and not run from it!

Reviews
"Wow, great stuff. Raw...real...unpredictable...uplifting. Gracefully straddles the fences between folk, rock and electronica. The hypnotic grooves make a great complement to the reflective lyrics and soul-baring tone of the vocals. Leaves the listener intrigued and wanting more."

Energetic
"...She sings like someone telling you the truth at 2 a.m., when the world is quiet and you're too tired to lie...that blend of honesty and fragility is where the song lives, and where Upchurch clearly thrives as an artist...these are not the words of someone casually writing a break-up song-they're the words of someone processing a spiritual shift...Kat Upchurch isn't trying to be anything other than real, and in doing so, she delivers something rare: a song that understands you before you even realized you need to be understood..."
