    Singer-Songwriter Cat Burns

    On this episode of the Elevate Podcast, we have the tremendous honour of welcoming rising UK star, Cat Burns. Cat is an English singer-songwriter who gained prominence with her 2020 single "Go" which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. Described by Sony Music as a blend of gospel and pop influences with guitar-led indie music, Burns has garnered massive attention for her music. Notably, she has been nominated three times for the Brit Awards. Starting with her debut single "Fallen Out of Love" in 2017, Burns has continued to release music and attract a following in the music community. In an interview with Gay Times, Cat explained she initially struggled to reconcile her sexuality with her ethnicity, stating "If you're a Black woman, I want you to feel heard and seen. We are vulnerable people who are capable of having lots of emotions. And, being a Black queer woman adds a layer to that.". Cat chronicled her experience with coming out to her family in her song "Free". Also diagnosed with ADHD, Cat noted in an interview that she had often found this helpful in her creative process, explaining "Both the chords and words come at the same time, but the concept comes first and I've found that that system has always worked for me! Helps the process of writing the song become a lot quicker which is great for my ADHD brain!". In April 2023, Cat was diagnosed as autistic, which she announced on social media. Join us as we explore Cat's journey with neurodivergence, life in the music landscape, and how we can work together to support better mental health in the music industry.
