Meet Kate O'
Kate O’ is a singing, coaching and composing musician, who believes the song is where we truly meet each other, in listening, learning and the expression of our shared human experience.
“The Unique selling point was vocalist Kate O’Beirne, who has such variety in her voice. She reminded me of Cate Le Bon… Her scatt singing had me on my way to Wowsville.”
- Liam Murphy, Munster Express
Her first album, Art’s Studio Mix, was produced by Artur Aslynan and released in 2023. But, Kate O’ has been a recording artist since 2016, and to date has recorded with a variety of artists including John Moloney, Roger Brown, Ned Egan, Steven Stubbs, Ailíse O'Neill, Artur Aslynan and Dawn Kenny. She is currently finalising her next album for release this year.
She adds many artists more to the list when considering performance including Amber Moran, Karen Coss, Seán Hennessey, Dylan Brown, Marian Ingoldsby, Suir Strings, Waterford Songwriter’s group, Notable works, Totem Opus and many, many more. She fronts a jazz band called Fallaway House and sings regularly in her local Church.
She holds a BA honors in Music from SETU, a Distinction in vocal performance at Senior Cert from RIAM, and a level 2 singing coach certificate from MVT international singing school. In the BA she developed production and composition skills that allow the studio to offer not only coaching, but also recording and production.
Kate says “My heart lies in the art of storytelling, a passion that drives every session I lead. I aim to help translate raw emotion into polished music. Whether we are crafting a new song or refining your vocal takes, I provide the technical guidance and creative support needed to make your narrative resonate.” Beyond the mic, Kate O’ offers piano, guitar, and ukulele instruction to empower your songwriting and accompaniment skills.
“Kate has worked extensively with her fellow musicians. Her output to date shows great diversity and versatility in approach and style.”
– Composer Dr Marian Ingoldsby
Kate O’ comes from a musical family where family celebrations have always been marked with a “sing song”, with a performance from everyone. For this reason, it has always been a part social mixing for Kate, a way of getting to know a person, through storytelling and song. She met her best friends and husband playing music and singing in pub music sessions, groups, at open mics or even at church.
When it comes to her solo work, this truly developed through busking. Since 2016 she has been seen street performing and on different stages in the towns of the Southeast of Ireland and beyond. She feels that she doesn’t truly know a town until she has sung there. Busking, she can feel the rhythm of the street and meet the people who pass daily on their way, often staying to listen, or share a story related to a song that has been sung. People tell lots of stories in response. Music connects people with common experiences and feelings. We truly meet at the song.
Kate O’Beirne is a powerhouse on vocals. The soprano has a winning smile, excellent diction, a wide range and that uncanny gift of being able to tell the story of her song. The singer pours all of herself into performance.”
