Australian singer, songwriter, actor, multiple ARIA winner. Renowned for her soulful and powerful vocal style, singer/songwriter Kate Ceberano has won almost every entertainment award in Australia. She has released five Platinum albums, four Gold albums, selling in excess of 1 million albums in Australia alone, performed countless sell-out tours, starred in acclaimed feature films and hosted her own television show 'Kate & Friends'.

Kate first came to prominence as lead vocalist at 15 years of age, for funk band 'I'm Talking'. The group's album produced three top ten singles, went Platinum and won Best New Talent (1984) at the Countdown Awards. Kate won Best Female Vocalist (1985) at the Countdown Awards as well as Best Female Singer (1985) at the Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) Awards. However after just one album, the group broke up and Kate went solo.

Kate's first solo album was the live set Kate Ceberano and Her Septet (1987). Her following album You've Always Got The Blues (1988) earned her an ARIA Award for Best Female Artist (1988). One year later, Kate won another ARIA for Best Female Artist (1989) as well as one for Highest Selling Single (1989), which was Bedroom Eyes. At the end of 1990, she received three prestigious MO Awards for Jazz Performer, Female Rock Performer and Contemporary Concert Performer of the Year.

In 1992, Kate performed the role of Mary in Jesus Christ Superstar, which toured Australia and also featured John Farnham. Kate followed this with her own late-night caberet-style show on ABC TV called Kate Beberano and Friends (1993/4). In 1996 Kate released her next solo album Blue Box, which went Gold and saw her nominated for another Best Female Artist ARIA. In 1997 Kate wrote and released what has become an Australian classic - 'Pash'. It went Gold and established Kate as one of our leading female song-writers.
