Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 20 Featuring Singer and Musician Katey Brooks - Singer on The Fire Cats Movie

LetsChatAboutCatsPodcast

Katey Brooks is originally from Bristol but now resides in Manchester. She grew up knowing that music was a way to share her feelings and emotions. Through the gift of music and song she has shared some of her life with her fans. Katey has played on large stages such as Glastonbury and WOMAD and has been lucky enough to perform all over the world.
Katey released an album of Bob Dylan songs as he was one of her favourite artists growing up and she loved to perform his music. Since then she has released her album REVOLUTE which was written and self produced by Katey.
Katey has a unique voice which at times is haunting in a beautiful and raw way. You can feel her soul in her words and she is beautiful to listen to. She performed a version of Believe by Cher and its unrecognisable to the original as Katey has made it her own and its almost like she wrote it and it was never performed before, any other way.
Katey was recommended to Katharine Parsons Director of the Fire Cats movie as being someone perfect for singing the end title credit song. Raphael Fimm had seen Katey perform in Cologne many years prior but he continued to follow her work and knew she was perfect for this ending to the film.
I cannot say too much about the song, even the name of the song without spoiling parts of the movie for those who have not yet seen it but I can tell you that its placement is perfect and the meaning of the words in the song touches deep into the soul of the viewer and are unforgettable once you hear them.
Raphael was correct in his choice and I could not imagine anyone else more suited to this song. It was a wonderful collaboration between Katey and Katharine to complete the song together. I am so excited for you to hear this song and that it will be released soon and everyone can enjoy this wonderful moving piece of art.
Katey is on tour soon and you can find information about her upcoming shows and purchase her music on her website which is Home - KATEY BROOKS and also on Instagram you can follow her at @kateybrooks
