Hello and thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Kitty and I'm a musician who specialises in music technology, including music production, mixing and mastering, sound engineering, live sound, studio recording, composition, and songwriting. My expertise covers a plethora of musical genres, including classical, jazz, funk, soul, electronic, indie, experimental, and of course pop. My journey began in classical music as a singer and clarinettist; I adored singing German lieder and French art song, and graduated from my undergrad degree with First Class honours majoring in Vocal Performance. Then I started exploring more jazz and R&B with my vocals and on the piano and saxophone, loving artists from Nina Simone to Hiatus Kaiyote. I also taught myself guitar at a young age, and enjoy acoustic songwriting as a lyricist. As for composing and producing, I spent the last six years in higher education exploring electronic music and scoring for film and video games (as well as doing plenty of mixing and mastering of course!) I have done professional sound engineering for the last 1-2 years, covering live sound engineering for gigs of various genres of music, poetry and burlesque. I also have experience as a producer for my own original songs and for other artists' songs in indie pop, jazz and funk. Head over to my instagram @kittysmetsmusic to see a bit more of what I have done in my career so far. So why pick me for your music? I'm a driven woman with overflowing creativity that I can't contain and just want to share with other likeminded artists. The knowledge of music I've picked up from being involved in so many different avenues of music making, as well as having studied almost every style of music and other artforms in depth, gives me a flexibility and adaptiveness you won't find in your average producer. My style of producing and engineering is very communication focused; if you're happy I'm happy, so I never take over projects with all my own opinions, and I listen warmly to the wants and needs of the musicians I work with. I've got a foot in many different communities and circles, and contacts up and down the country within my network. I'm passionate about the importance of being a female producer and sound engineer, and also really love to use my career to inspire young people.
