THE GREAT KAT

Born Katherine Thomas in Swindon, England, The Great Kat began her classical music education at the age of seven on piano, and at nine on the violin in Long Island, NY, USA. After winning numerous competitions, Kat won a full scholarship to The Juilliard School in New York City at the age of fifteen where she graduated with honors. Kat has toured internationally as a classical violin soloist.

After realizing that "classical music is dead", the Great Kat discovered heavy-metal and brought her classical virtuosity to the guitar, becoming one of the world's fastest guitarists and one of the few composers to combine classical music with heavy-metal.
