Hetty Kate

Acclaimed vocalist Hetty Kate brings her pure tone and elegant precision to jazz. Compared to “a good champagne: simultaneously effervescent and restrained” (Sydney Morning Herald), Hetty’s distinctive approach balances respect for lyrics with spontaneity and wit. “Charismatic and technically gifted” (All About Jazz), she has “a stage presence only matched by the clarity of her voice” (James Morrison, AU).

Hetty’s career spans six continents, including the New York Winter Jazz Festival, Sapporo International Jazz Festival, and Prague Proms. As vocalist for Australian jazz icon James Morrison, she performed with prestigious orchestras worldwide, resulting in the Bell Award-winning “A to Z of Jazz.”

With ten albums, this British-Australian artist now calls Paris home. Her current project “Jazz in Four Seasons” is an ambitious tetralogy traversing different seasons and cultures. Each album will be recorded in a different country with local musicians, celebrating jazz’s global journey beyond established capitals. As Eric Myers notes: “One rarely hears a repertoire of such quality.”
