1. Cat Simoni – Resumé and Current Bookings
South African-born Cat Simoni’s life changed overnight in London, when she decided to follow her innate musical talent. A BSc
graduate from Durban, Cat turned her back on accountancy, and a 10-year career playing and singing at the Steinways and
Bechsteins of London’s 5-star venues and exclusive private clubs ensued! Cat has played The Ritz, Dorchester, Park Lane
Intercontinental; The Rubens, The Milestone, The Carlton, The Lancaster, The Millennium Mayfair, The Reform Club, The Grosvenor
Casino and The Royal Automobile Club.
With her fabulous voice and dazzling piano virtuosity, Cat has wowed the international jet set and crème de la crème; sheiks, spies,
rock-stars, the famous and infamous, with an extraordinary repertoire that extends from the great West End/Broadway shows
(Andrew Lloyd Webber showstoppers), the works of the great songwriters (Porter, Rogers, Gershwin & Kern), pop megahits from
the 50’s to now (Adele, Queen, Eagles) and the very best of South African music (Makeba to Clegg). Cat has worked with Bill
Kenwright, Boy George, Kiki Dee, Ti Pau, and has performed exclusive functions for Coronation Street, Hello! Magazine, and Barclays
Capital.
Cat, solo and cabaret artist par excellence, gives a mesmerizing live performance and adds world-class quality to every exclusive
function. Her passion for her art is apparent in every line of every song she delivers!
