Caiti Baker 凱蒂貝克
靈魂/藍調 創作歌手

凱蒂出身於音樂家庭，從藍調、靈魂、福音、爵士到搖滾，凱蒂的音樂家父親讓她在生活中充滿音樂，也讓她在音樂中長大。在她成長的過程中，她逐漸培養了對於音樂的愛好和鑒賞力，且把音樂的喜好延伸到嘻哈、r&b、新傑克搖擺（New jack swing)和 新靈魂樂(Neo soul)。

她從十二歲開始寫，二十多歲跟製作人 james mangohig結識成立了sietta樂團後，寫歌和演出功力大增，開始在澳洲國內外演出。2014年，她決定單飛，但仍持續跟james合作，他們兩人再加上 Michael Hohnen(製作人也是貝斯手)的三人組，從此上路。

2015年，她與達爾文的 Perambulator Records簽約，隔年發行單曲”我心沈重”(Heavy On My Heart)，
2017年元月，她發行了第二張單曲”犯你自己的錯”(Make Your Own Mistakes)。
2017年八月她的”狼”(Wolf)演唱會，造成轟動。

凱蒂寫歌的靈感來自生活中所思所想，她的嗓音像是從靈魂中躍出，毫不保留自由呈現。

Caiti Baker,
A vocalist and front woman raised on the sounds that birthed popular music, released her debut album ZINC on October 6 2017. Born into a household filled with vinyl, CDs and tapes of blues, soul, gospel, jazz, big band and rock & roll, Caiti’s father, a blues musician himself, made sure that she was raised amongst music. Whether it was playing on the stereo, in the car, at a concert or attending week long festivals – music was everywhere.
As a child, Caiti developed a love and appreciation for the pioneering music but was drawn obsessively to Hip Hop, R&B,
New Jack Swing and Neo soul. After being given an 8 track digital recorder, she learnt how to write and record songs on
her own from the age of 12. Inspired by the greats like Aretha Franklin, Big Mamma Thornton, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Etta James and Little Walter; Caiti began to take notes on Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child, Lauryn Hill,
Janet Jackson and Faith Evans.
She got better at writing and singing and formed an electro-soul act with bass player and producer James Mangohig in her early 20s calledSietta. Together they toured nationally and internationally, supported some great acts, played many festivals, released 2 EPs and 2 albums which had a few songs that got some air play on a few great radio stations.
In the later months of 2014, Caiti decided to step out on her own. A catalyst for doing so began with the reunion between
Caiti herself and her father after a 4 year falling out. Upon this reunion, Caiti’s father gave her a USB sample bank of his original guitar licks, harmonica ideas and riffs which were recorded on his mobile phone.
Passing the USB key to James Mangohig, who is now an ARIA nominated producer (Daniel Johns, Briggs), Caiti and James teamed up with ARIA award winning double bassist and producer Michael Hohnen(Dr G. Yunupingu, Tom E Lewis) to become a production force that no one can mess with. Together, the three of them have been writing, honing and recording songs that link 2 eras and a plethora of genres together to form a sound that is only unique to Caiti Baker.
In 2015, Caiti signed to Perambulator Records in Darwin. She released her debut single ‘Heavy On My Heart’ in August 2016 to great acclaim and in January 2017, Caiti released her second single ‘Make Your Own Mistakes’. In August 2017, drawing nearer to the completion of her debut album, Caiti released monster jam ‘Wolf’ to many rave reviews. Following it up with the fourth single ‘I Won’t Sleep’, an energetic driving track about regaining her identity after recovering from having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 6 years.
In the winter of 2015, she toured with and supported Dr. G Yunupingu on his Gospel Album Tour. Throughout 2016/17,
Caiti has joined A.B. Original (Briggsand Trials) as a special guest on tour dates (Hilltop Hoods Restrung Tour, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival) and festival gigs. She is also a featured vocalist for A.B. Original, a backing vocalist for Briggs and is heavily affiliated with his record label Bad Apples. After debuting her music at the Darwin Festival (‘16), Caiti embarked on an extensive headline tour over 4 months down the east coast, followed by 2 support runs with Dan Sultan and Son Little (USA) where she was accompanied by guitarist Lindsay “The Doctor” McDougall.
So far, In 2017, Caiti played (with great acclaim) at the renown world music festival Womad. She has also supported Australian chart-topper Guy Sebastian and American legend Booker T. Caiti can also be heard and seen featuring on a track with Briggswhich was written for the NRL Fox League called ‘Here’. Together, Briggs and Caiti performed the song live at Brisbane’s SunCorp Stadium for the National Indigenous Round Game in May. Caiti also found time to hang out in the studio with Pete Murray to lay down some backing vocals for 2 songs on his long awaited album Camacho. Whilst back home taking a break from touring to finish her album, Caiti attended and performed at the NT Song of The Year Awards. Her first single ‘Heavy On My Heart’ won best Blues & Roots song whilst her second single ‘Make Your Own Mistakes’ won best Pop song as well as ‘Song Of The Year’.
Caiti writes songs about what she knows and feels, sings with her soul and unashamedly performs the hell out of them.
But that will all be obvious when you hear her music and watch her perform, which will have you either dancing or chilling
with a grin on your face.
