GLITTER: When did you start writing and making music?
CAT: I’ve been writing as long as I can remember, and I started getting into music when I was a teenager. I started playing guitar in high school and writing songs. and just sort of kept going from there.
GLITTER: Where did you grow up and how did it influence your love of music?
CAT: I grew up in Perth County, Ontario. Growing up in nature had a big impact on my music and still does. I had a couple of uncles that really played the guitar well, and my grandfather played the fiddle. I would visit my grandparents every summer and get to see my uncles play guitar and piano, as well as my grandfather’s fiddle. I think those experiences really connected me with more folk and blues music.
GLITTER: Where are you based now and what’s one favorite thing that you love about your location?
