Kate Earl, born Kate Joy Smithson, October 8, 1981 “Katie” to Charles and Pomposa Smithson in Chugiak, Alaska is a Filipino American singer-songwriter, now based in Los Angeles. Her debut album, Fate Is The Hunter, was released on May 10, 2005. She has garnered moderate airplay with her single, “Officer”.
Kate’s music has been likened to that of Bjork, Joni Mitchell, and Fiona Apple. Her songs have a similar jazzy-soul feel and progression to them. However, Earl’s influences also trace back to her late father’s old warped wartime records. (Her song “Sweet Sixteen” seemingly incorporates a sample of one, cleverly used as a background instrument.) In this respect, she is more of a “throwback” artist.
Comparisons to her Alaskan musical predecessor, Jewel, are inevitable. However, Kate’s sound is arguably more grounded, mature, and substantial - both lyrically and musically. Her vocal abilities also stand out. As evidenced by such tracks as “Someone To Love” and “Hero”, they are sweet and soothing one minute, yet fiery and powerful the next.
Katies parents Chuck and Pompi owned and operated the Circle S gas station on North Birchwood Loop Road, where she also worked. Thus, she became known as “the girl from the gas station.” During this time, Kate discovered music as a means of escaping her dreary, cold surroundings.
