| Kat Jimenez Releases 'Nothin’ But Love' If you’re crazy about Sinead O’Connor’s latest album, "Throw Down Your Arms, " then you’ll want to get your hands on Kat Jimenez’ first independently released album, "Nothin’ But Love." However, instead of re-inventing old school Reggae tunes, Kat revives the genre by adding hints of rock, jazz, Latin, world beats and retro harmonies into her own music– producing a new and very enticing sound. On October 15, Kat Jimenez will be celebrating the release of her album, along with her band, da Kine at the Roosevelt Hotel’s Cinegrill in Hollywood. Her album will be available through online retail avenues. About Kat Jimenez: Kat Jimenez was born and raised in the Philippines, which is where her island style music stems from. Her parents are true believers of the American dream which is why they brought her and all four siblings to America. Kat’s parents encouraged her to follow her dreams as long as she finished college. So she worked on her Psychology Degree at the University of Washington by day and joined various play groups taking on principal roles as a singer and dancer by night. As soon as she graduated, she moved to New York to take a chance at theatre and landed small roles on off Broadway shows. After several attempts on Broadway and auditions for all-girl groups being established by major labels, she left the stage and took a stab at working for the real world. She moved to Los Angeles and found great success in the corporate world. But it was never enough. She didn’t quite quit her day job, but decided to re-focus her energy back on the music. She’s been working on her album since and we’ll wait and see how her story unfolds. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
