Across the Atlantic, Cat grew up amid three brothers and a sister in Germany. Born into a home filled with music of all styles, Cat was surrounded by anything from classical to jazz, blues and tradional folk music. Early on she was drawn to the guitar, eventually teaching herself the chords and progressions, a habit which would ultimately lead to a life-long passion.
Submersed in anything and everything having to do with music, Cat absorbed its creation and arrangements, learning from anyone who would share their knowledge. College brought her to the USA. She eventually immigrated to the United States, calling Atlanta, Georgia her home.
Her three beautiful sons became the inspiration to one of her songs: “Three Raw Diamonds."
