Ever since a young age, Northern Ireland singer-songwriter Catherine McGrath has been influenced by music; more specifically, the country music genre. Her grandmother taught her how to play guitar, and as both her parents are also musicians, Catherine grew up watching them performing on stage. Catherine first discovered her love for country music in particular after listening to Taylor Swift’s smash hit “Love Story,” at the age of 12. This inspired Catherine to begin writing her own songs, but she also started to make cover videos of some of her favourite songs and posted them online.

These videos helped her to get noticed by different companies, including Warner Bros who later signed her to their label. Catherine recorded her debut EP One which was released in December 2016, followed by several other EP’s. Catherine’s first full-length album, Talk of This Town, was released in July 2018, achieving a top 20 chart position in Ireland, Scotland and the UK.
