Kate Ceberano - The Sassy Songstress - Biography

Kate Ceberano has been belting out tunes for over 20 years but is she
ready to rumba?

The entertainment legend is one of the country's best known and loved
singers and will now add dancing to her repertoire, "I'm ecstatic and
they couldn't have done better than matching me up with dance partner
Jean-Paul – he is a total spunk!", she said.

Renowned for her soulful and powerful vocal style, Kate has won nearly
every entertainment award in Australia. She has released five platinum
records and four gold albums, selling over one million albums in this
country alone. The sultry singer first came to prominence during her
mid-teens as the lead singer for funk band I'm Talking. After one
album, the group broke up leaving Kate free to purse a solo career.

And what a career it's been. Her second solo album You've Always Got
The Blues earned her an ARIA Award for Best Female Artist but it was
the triple platinum selling Brave in 1989 that really set the charts
on fire. It was the first album by an Australian female to reach the
national number one spot and it produced four hit singles including
Bedroom Eyes. At the end of 1990, she received three prestigious MO
Awards for Jazz Performer, Female Rock Performer and Contemporary
Concert Performer of the Year.

In 1992, Kate performed the role of Mary in Jesus Christ Superstar to
rave reviews. She followed this with her own late-night cabaret-style
show on ABC TV called Kate Ceberano And Friends. Since then, she has
released the critically acclaimed album Blue Box and her self-penned
smash Pash. Next came The Girl Can Help It followed by the highly
successful 19 Days in New York.

In November 2005, Kate performed two concerts at The Perth Concert
Hall with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. She performed a
vastly eclectic collection of songs, ranging from the classic
Unchained Melody through to original songs and modern gems like The
Drugs Don't Work. The shows were recorded live and released on Kate
Ceberano Live with The West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

The Melbourne-born songstress is married to music video director Lee
Rogers, who has directed several of her music videos. They have a
daughter Gypsy, who was born in January 2004.

Kate's has chosen to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation, "I
feel it is my duty to get my breasts out there for a higher cause as
an Ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation."
