About
Katrina is a jazz singer who performs regularly in Berkshire, London and beyond. Her extensive repertoire and particular favourites include jazz standards, show tunes, and bossa nova. Katrina sings in several languages and is known for her big vocal range and love of scat singing. Her pure voice is combined with emotion, warmth and musical sensitivity. Katrina draws inspiration from the jazz giants from the past, vocalists and instrumentalists such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Astrud Gilberto, Chet Baker, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, and Joe Pass, as well as many great contemporaries here in the UK and abroad. Katrina performs in clubs, at charity events and festivals with various music groups, duos and larger bands.
"It has been a joy getting to know and listen to Katrina. Her love and passion for music is palpable and her choice of material intelligent and completely heartfelt. Always daring and engaging in her approach, I’m in awe of her instrument and her command of languages! A very special talent."
Claire Martin OBE
"With her genuine and heartfelt interpretation of songs, Katrina’s joy on stage never fails to spread to the rest of the room."
