SENSATIONAL KATEY ASPELINGHaving recently returned from LA, this talented young singer is on the move!To view videos click on links bottom of page... KATEY ASPELING is a young, extraordinary talent with a burning passion to create her own style of music. She is a talented songwriter & extraordinary vocalist. Having realised the highly competitive nature of the music industry, Katey has embarked on a path to be the best she can be. Wanting to fine-tune her voice and maximise her vocal ability, Katey has been studying the technique of Speech Level Singing (SLS) developed by Seth Riggs in the US. SLS and Seth Riggs has been associated with over 120 Grammy Award winners. In August, 2008 Katey flew to LA to attended Seth Riggs Summer Vocal Programme in Bel Air, California where she was selected out of the 200 attendees to be one of 10 performers to perform on the final night (view video below). While primarly an R & B/Pop performer, Katey choose to perform the Eva Cassidy version of the ballad, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, to showcase her talents as a singer. The Summer Programme, conducted over 10 jampacked days, gave Katey invaluable feedback about industry requirements in songwriting & additional voice coaching. Katey's ambition is to become a "live" performer with a focus toward performing in musicals. While there she made contact with a number of important producers who have worked with the country's top artists. She has been invited to return to the US to attend SLS's Artist Development Programme, working with people such as Chuck Myers (producing songs for many top bands including Simple Plan, Sparta, Smashing Pumpkins to name just a few) and other top A & R people. She has produced her first single and has been working on a specific genre of music. Listen to her first production 'Everyday" by clicking the link below. For the moment, Katey wants to take it one step at a time and not become tied to a particular record label, rather, her wish is to work independantly and see where the path takes her. She has performed in a locally produced stage production at the Gold Coast Arts Centre, and is currently performing in private corporate gigs in her beautiful, sub-tropical hometown of the Gold Coast, located in South East Queensland, Australia. Katey says being close to gorgeous white sandy beaches and the blue ocean gives her the inspiration to compose her music. Katey draws inspiration from the music of all styles including that of the late, great Eva Cassidy VIDEO - Local gigs (sorry about poor light quality in some clips)remember to click on "watch in high qulaity" for better viewing
