Kate has performed at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican, Berghain, Panorama Bar, Warung, fabric, the Montreal Jazz Festival, Eleven in Tokyo and Fuse in Brussels. Kate completed a Masters in Composition for Screen at the Royal College of Music in 2014, where she created her orchestral-electronic ensemble London Electronic Orchestra.
