| About |
Kat Abel is a professional vocalist, pianist, and music educator with over eight years of experience in the industry. She has performed extensively across genres, from jazz and soul to reggae, gypsy, and Latin music, but her true passion lies in jazz and soul. Influenced by legends like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as early 2000s icons like Beyoncé and Adele, Kat blends vintage charm with a modern edge in both her performances and teaching.
As a music teacher, Kat specializes in vocal technique, stage presence, and musical expression, helping students build confidence and artistry. She also leads choirs, creating a welcoming and inspiring environment where singers of all levels can develop their skills and experience the joy of group performance.
Kat’s lessons are student-led, allowing each individual to explore their musical interests while developing strong foundational skills. She believes that learning music should be both enjoyable and rewarding, tailoring her approach to each student’s goals—whether they want to refine their technique, build confidence in performance, or simply sing for fun.
Her lessons incorporate engaging warm-up exercises to strengthen vocal control, followed by working on songs chosen by the students. She also integrates breathing techniques, somatic exercises, and music therapy-inspired practices to help students connect more deeply with their voice, reduce tension, and enhance overall well-being through singing.
In addition to teaching, Kat is a session musician, collaborating with producers on top-line writing and creating music for sync placements. She performs regularly, playing shows with multiple projects across the UK and Europe. As a self-employed musician, she has built a successful career by forging strong relationships with venues, event organizers, and fellow artists, allowing her to maintain a dynamic and thriving presence in the industry.
