Rising star Kitty Rae is making a splash in the electro pop star music scene. With her unique sound and raw, emotive storytelling, Ms Rae is a testament to the creative and community spirit of her hometown, Bacchus Marsh.<\/p>\n
“I have a long list of career goals, but my main goal for the next year is to keep going and growing,” she told The Moorabool News.<\/p>\n
Her excitement was tangible as she discussed the positive feedback to her debut album. “There’s been a wonderful response to my debut album already, and it’s not even out yet. I’m excited to see where that body of work takes me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharing her future plans, Ms Rae expressed a desire to perform in front of a hometown crowd.<\/p>\n
“I really want to do a regional tour next year, including my first show in Bacchus.”<\/p>\n
For Ms Rae, the musical journey and the town of Bacchus Marsh are inextricably linked.<\/p>\n
“I did music\/drama lessons, and theatre shows at Performing Arts Headquarters growing up. It was there that I learned how community is really the most important part of the performing arts,” highlighting the importance of community and teamwork in the journey to be creative, vulnerable and inspiring to young hopefuls.<\/p>\n
And some sound advice for the young singers of Moorabool who aspire to follow a similar path.<\/p>\n
“Keep doing it.”<\/p>\n
Ms Rae emphasised that music is an essential part of life, despite what anyone else might tell you.<\/p>\n
“There’s kids open mic nights. You can go to all age’s gigs or festivals and don’t forget that there’s a community around music, you can get involved in at any age, any level; and if you want to sing – you should sing.”<\/p>\n
As the local musician continues to embrace her musical journey, one thing is clear – she is a voice on the rise. And no matter how far her music takes her, she will always have a special place for Bacchus Marsh in her heart. Watch this space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
