Kathryn Keats

Kathryn Keats has been involved in music since the age of five, working as a teenager with such legends as Tennessee Ernie Ford, Loretta Lynn and Word Baker. She initially studied at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Early in her career, she performed at Carnegie Hall and toured the country with a successful off Broadway show. Her studio work includes sound tracks and recording for various producers. Kathryn Keats was put into hiding after her former collaborator threatened her life. Law enforcement officials urged her to change her identity. Her name was legally changed after a harrowing experience which culminated in a jury trial in Oakland, California. In order to protect herself, she was forced her to give up her career. When she could no longer work in the music industry she did not lament the loss of time. She began working behind the scenes of the film industry. In 2005 Keats discovered that the man who had threatened her life for over three decades had finally died. It was then that Kathryn Keats could come out of hiding. Since then, she has reclaimed her past and music. She has played The Knitting Factory LA, New York's The Bitter End, The Throckmorton Theatre, The Plush Room and more. She is a keynote speaker helping survivors and victims of violence, sexual violence and neglect. Kathryn recorded "After the Silence" and is working on a live concert CD as well as writing and recording an inspirational project with multi Grammy award winning producer, Narada Michael Walden. In short, Kathryn Keats is no ordinary animal. When most would be happy to finally live their life in peace Kathryn is driven to share her story and teach others how to save their lives, reclaim their dreams, and live again.
