Biography

One of the most successful and popular solo female performers of the late 20th and early 21st century to come out of England, Kate Bush is also one of the most unusual, with her keening vocals and unusually literate and complex body of songs. As a girl, Catherine Bush studied piano and violin, and by the time she was a teenager, she was writing songs of her own. Pink Floyd lead guitarist David Gilmour arranged for the 15-year-old Bush to record her first demo, resulting in a contract with EMI Records. Bush became an overnight sensation at the age of 19, scoring numerous hit singles and albums for an increasingly international audience. ~ Bruce Eder
