Hetty Kate: Spring

British-Australian vocalist Hetty Kate brings a pure tone and natural artistry to the jazz tradition. Compared to “a good champagne: simultaneously effervescent and restrained” by the Sydney Morning Herald, Hetty’s distinctive approach balances her unwavering respect for the lyric, with spontaneity and wit.

Nurtured in Melbourne’s vibrant jazz scene, Hetty’s musical journey has since spanned 28 countries, with performances at major international festivals and a significant tenure as the featured vocalist in Australian Jazz Luminary James Morrison’s touring bands, including his award-winning symphonic concert “The A to Z of Jazz.”

Praised as “one of the best swing-style singers on the current scene” (Will Friedwald, Author & Critic USA), Hetty’s recordings and live performances showcase her “poised vocal line,” and “precise, on-point phrasing” (Alain Thomas, Couleurs Jazz FR), and talent for showcasing “a repertoire of such quality” (Eric Myers, LoudMouth Ezine, Music Trust AU).

Now based in Paris, Hetty continues to tour internationally across Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, sharing her passion for beautiful songs with audiences around the world.
