About Kat

About Kat

With her debut album, Kat Selman departs from her jazz roots that helped her blossom as a musician and cultivate her unique style which includes a mix of Americana, Brazilian vibes and her own original songwriting. Since graduating with a masters in music from The University of North Texas, Kat has combined her experience as a musician in Spain, Texas, Los Angeles and New York City to grow her delicious-to-the-ears sound.

On her record, Kat Selman presents a mix of original songs as well as a few Brazilian songs which she masterfully sings in Portuguese, and rounds out the collection with a Hank Williams song very dear to her heart. Drummer, producer, and fellow North Texas alum Ross Pederson has helped shape the album from the very beginning. Pederson led a crew of fantastic musicians, including Matt Aronoff, Perry Smith, Vitor Gonçalves and Bob Lanzetti -and also added his own artistry to the project by playing drums and mixing as well as producing the record. Fellow singer songwriter Angela Parrish mastered the project. 

Kat was a finalist in the The Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Competition in 2014, and as a college student won several awards from DownBeat magazine in the solo singer category.​   Her love of Brazilian music led her to study Portuguese, and she continues to sing Brazilian music in New York and beyond - at venues like the Cornelia Street Cafe, Rockwood Music Hall, as well as in intimate house concert settings. Kat Selman has also toured in Europe as a vocalist with Arid, a trio from Barcelona, Spain with Americana folk and jazz influences.
