BadKat

The time has come for a new era in Hip Hop. A surprising leader has emerged and is sharpening her claws. Femininity and Power now have a common voice.

Over the years, BadKat has shared the stage with the likes of KRS One, De La Soul, Aceyalone, K-the-i???, John Robinson, Bahamadia, Dres the Beatnik, Professor Griff, NY Oil, Ishues, Doria Roberts, Rehab, and many more.

BadKat first began her journey with Hip Hop in the underground circuit of North Carolina (1994 - 1999). After several years of performing, booking and event planning, BadKat returned to her hometown (Tallahassee, Florida) to pursue her career in media marketing. Writing and recording at night, she grew frustrated over the lack of performance opportunities in Florida’s decaying live music scene. BadKat relocated once again, this time to the music mecca of the South – Athens, Georgia. Within a year BadKat released her first solo project, ‘badkat unreleased.’ Receiving a strong local and regional welcome, BadKat used the momentum to organize several community outreach projects, including: Summer Splash 2006, Hip Hop Homecoming Festival (held annually since 2006), Hip Hop for Social Change (discussion forums), and many events to help foster the musical and writing talents of women and independent artists throughout her three years in the area.

Why the listeners love BadKat is simple. Not only can they relate to the content of her music, her overall melodic and savvy delivery over heavy bass lines and thumping percussion is enough to set any room on fire. BadKat will be working here in the E.U. for the next years to come, with plans to visit more of her fans throughout Europe, as well as around the globe. Be on the look-out for the various releases she has planned for 2010. Expect the unexpected as she journeys through a wide variety of musical genres to display her skills. From mellow to adrenaline rush, she is pocketing them all. BadKat is currently booking dates throughout 2010 as part of a year long tour that will cover many countries in the EU, as well as dates in the US. Stay tuned to keep current event dates on your calendar.
