Montreal, age {{Age|1993|September|5}})[1][2] is a Canadian singer-songwriter, guitar, piano and banjo player. BackgroundKater was born in Montreal, where she spent her early childhood in Mile End.[2] She also lived in Wakefield, Ottawa and Winnipeg before attending Davis & Elkins college in Elkins, West Virginia on a banjo scholarship.[1][2] In Elkins, she also learned to flatfoot and deepened her knowledge of body percussion (hambone).[2] Her mother is from Quebec, and her father immigrated to Canada from Grenada as a teenager. She grew up spending significant time in the North American folk music community, attending festivals, camps and conferences frequently during her teen years.[3] Musical careerShe released her first EP Old Soul in 2012, and her first full-length album Sorrow Bound in 2014.[4] In 2016, she won the "Pushing the Boundaries" award at the 12th Canadian Folk Music Awards for her third album, Nine Pin. The Guardian reviewed it as "tremendous" with four stars out of five.[5] Rolling Stone noted Kater's mixture of traditional banjo playing and "sobering, honest lyrics exploring all-too-current themes including poverty and racism...a quiet, yet powerful storm", naming her a "need to know" artist of 2016.[6] In 2017 and 2018, Kater toured extensively, performing at venues and festivals throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the United Kingdom, including a performance at the Kennedy Center, at the invitation of the Grammy Museum as part of a tribute to Pete Seeger.[7] She performed at the 2018 Newport Folk Festival, with Rolling Stone highlighting her performance as one of the '12 Best Things We Saw' [8] and Carnegie Hall announced her performance as part of Migrations: The Making of America in their 2018-2019 season.[9] Kater's 2018 album, Grenades, explores her personal history, including the story of her father's childhood and journey to Canada.[10] While influenced by folk music, Kater cites Nina Simone, Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill as important voices in shaping the direction of her artistic, social and political expression.[11] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/local-arts/ottawa-acts-vie-for-canadian-folk-music-awards|title=Ottawa acts vie for Canadian Folk Music Awards|date=2016-09-22|work=Ottawa Citizen|access-date=2018-10-11|language=en-US}} [12]2. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.wvpublic.org/post/kaia-kater-portrait-young-quebecalachian|title=Kaia Kater: A Portrait of a Young Quebecalachian|last=Deutsch|first=Joni|access-date=2018-10-11|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/thursday-feb-22-2018-jennifer-podemski-kaia-kater-and-more-1.4545488/how-the-banjo-helped-kaia-kater-understand-her-own-afro-caribbean-roots-1.4545566|title=How the banjo helped Kaia Kater understand her Afro-Caribbean roots {{!}} CBC Radio|work=CBC|access-date=2018-10-11|language=en-US}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://kaiakater.com|title=Kaia Kater|website=kaiakater.com|access-date=2018-10-11}} 5. ^{{citation|title=Kaia Kater: Nine Pin review – where bluegrass meets Nina Simone|author=Neil Spencer|date=August 28, 2016|newspaper=The Guardian|location=Manchester UK|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/aug/28/kaia-kater-nine-pin-review}} 6. ^1 {{citation|title=10 New Country Artists You Need to Know: May 2016|author=Stephen L.
