“(Hetty Kate) has a stage presence only matched by the clarity of her voice”
– James Morrison AU

“Beautiful, enchanting. A big future ahead..”
– Christian Bragg, Jazz FM UK

“Her vocal line is poised and her phrasing is precise, on point”
– Alain Thomas, Couleurs Jazz Magazine FR

Based in Paris since 2017, British/Australian vocalist Hetty Kate came up in the vibrant Melbourne jazz scene, mentored by some of Australia’s most treasured jazz musicians. Alongside with her ‘natural musicality’, clear tone and impeccable timing you’ll find it’s her warmth and razor-sharp wit that truly sets her apart, artfully blending poise and humour with a great love for the music. A raconteur, and often described as ‘The Real Deal’. 

Hetty has been touring internationally for almost two decades, gracing stages large and small from New Zealand to New York and Paris to Prague. She has toured and recorded with Australian jazz luminary James Morrison, performed with Rick Margitza and Peter Bernstein, as well as classical pianists Simon Tedeschi (AU) and Charl de Plessis (SA). She performed as Ava Gardner for an original musical written by Eric McCusker (Mondo Rock), was the featured vocalist in James Morrison’s award winning symphonic concert ‘The A to Z of Jazz’, and played herself in Herve Hadmar’s tele-series ‘Romance’ on France2.

Enjoy a masterful evening of classics and curiosities from Dameron to Brubeck and Porter to Kern; the American Songbook and beyond.
