PRESS REVIEWS:

-”Blending the showmanship of metal with the intensive musical construction of classical, Kat has carved out a name for herself in musical history by shredding some of the greatest musical works of our time.” – Carly Milne, AOL’s Digital City

-“The Great Kat, the virtuoso violinist and guitarist of metal who shreds all classical artists such as Beethoven, Paganini, Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach. She plays their parts at the speed of light. She is quite a character, genius and figure, but her extensive classical training allows her to reach extreme speeds that few are able to reach.” – Jordi Zelig Tarrega, The Metal Circus

-”The Great Kat. The High Priestess of Guitar Shred. She can play ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ at 300 beats per minute! Wagner’s War, a no-holds-barred response to September 11, includes a cover of that tender classic ‘Flight of the Valkyries.’  Her followers (the ‘Kat slaves’) think she’s just the soldier America needs. Ranked among ‘The Ten Fastest Shredders of All Time.’ Totally spoiling her crazy-lady rep: She studied classical violin at Juilliard.” – New York Magazine
