As badly as we want our trajectory to be linear and to make logical sense, sometimes life has other plans for us. We have to listen to that little voice within, whispering: rebel against the status quo. This has been the experience of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Kate Davis, where she hits the brakes on the life she thought she knew, grabbed the creative reins and rebuilt her artistic foundation. As she triumphantly walks away from her previous life as a conservatory-trained jazz musician and into her future as an experimental art-rock singer, Davis has found a new home within herself. Growing up in Portland where she began playing violin at age five and bass at age thirteen, Davis later moved to New York City to attend the Manhattan School Of Music. At night, Davis would sneak down to Brooklyn, where she watched indie-rock innovators Grizzly Bear and the Dirty Projectors and secretly dreamed of breaking away from the academic rigor of the jazz world she inhabited.. In 2014 she was asked by the group Postmodern Jukebox to record a cover of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass," which accidentally went viral on YouTube. As a lifelong musician, Davis felt constrained by the limitations of one viral moment. But with time, Davis found a way to take control of her musical destiny and define her own path, which is illustrated with vivid clarity on the highly conceptual 'Fish Bowl,' coming three years after her debut album, 'Trophy.' This coming-of-age story is at the heart of Davis' sophomore album, 'Fish Bowl,' coming soon via her new label home of ANTI- Records. Across 'Fish Bowl's' 12 deeply personal tracks, Davis traces her very own hero's journey, from the moment she steps away from her old life to the moment she finds inner peace. She follows these steps through the eyes of Fish Bowl's central character, FiBo, who starts out on opening track "Monster Mash" realizing the community she cultivated has turned on her and starts to seek real change. Leading the entire creative process, Davis wove multiple genres - art-rock, pop, and folk - into an intricate, unique tapestry of sound.. As she steps into an exciting new stage of her music career, Davis is taking the very meticulousness she developed from her years in the jazz world and applying them to 'Fish Bowl.' Like genre pillar John Coltrane, Davis is transitioning to a more musically spiritual place - a place where rules don't matter, experimentalism is encouraged, and change is part of one's natural progression as an artist. As Davis continues to push forward with clear-eyed determination, the indie-rock world is about to gain a new sonic voyager.
