Katherine Curnow - Soul/rnb/neosoul singer RnB, Soul + neosoul for any event from solo to 10 piece band (or more)

Specific tech requirements will be dependant on the event type and scale. Basic requirements are staging, lighting and sound and parking.

Point of contact, hours for access and location for loading in and out all equipment and if there is a sound limiter in the venue.

For smaller line ups we can arrange our own sound and lighting but bigger scale events/line ups, this will need to be provided by the client. This is to be determined and agreed upon on a case by case basis.

A spotify playlist before, during and after sets can be provided as well as recommendations or provision of a DJ.

I've had many really GREAT gigs but the top three that spring to mind would be singing backgrounds for Tony award winning and Grammy nominated artist Melba Moore at Le Nouveau Cap in Paris.

Second would be a tribute to Lauryn HIll's album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill as part of my 2025 residency at 38riv - the band was killing and the vibe with the audience was amazing.

Lastly (cheating because there are two moments like this) would be playing with my friend, the late Casey Benjamin (Robert Glasper experiment, Roy Ayers, etc) at Le Caveau des Oubliettes and recently with Matthias Loescher (guitarist for Lauryn Hill, NAS, Talib Kweli, etc) at Duc de Lombards - to be invited to share the stage with both of these insanely talented and accomplished musicians was a great honour.

We love playing all sorts of events but my personal favourite would be weddings, specifically ceremonies - adding that extra element to such a precious and intimate moment is always really special and heartwarming for us, the musicians.

I've been singing for my entire life, vocally trained since age 9, including 3 years of classical voice, studied Contemporary Music performance (voice) at the Western Australian Academy of Performing arts and I have been gigging professionally for over 18 years. The majority of my career has been in Perth, Australia, then a couple of years in London, UK, and now I am based and work as a full-time musician and artist in Paris, France.

I love all styles of music but vocally I would say I gravitate towards big, female voices so my favourite artist and biggest influence would be Mariah Carey. Other artists who have influenced me musically and vocally include Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, D'angelo, Jojo, Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly and Allen Stone. I would also say that I am heavily influenced by 90s and early 2000s as this was the music I grew up on, specifically the RNB joints coming out during that era.

Depending on the event times, access to loading areas and venues and size of the band, we generally arrive 1-2 hours before the call time. Quotes are generated based on a maximum of 2 x 40-45 min sets but happy to cater the package to each event.

We are happy to perform outside except for in winter or extreme cold/rainy weather. We will require shade, flat level surface and a power supply close to the stage area.

Song requests are possible, however, would be capped at 5 outside of the provided repertoire. Happy for clients to provide a brief as to what songs/artists they would like or would not like played.

Consistent client feedback has been classy, elegant and high quality with really great song choices whilst being high energy and entertaining for guests.
