When asked which came first, music or acting, Kate will tell you, “Music has always come first as far as my personal endeavors go. My grandmother was organist and choirmasterat our church and I took piano lessons for eight years when I was a little girl. Music permeated throughout our house, we had a 'music room' with instruments,microphones and a complete record library in our basement and between the four of us (Dad, sister and Mom too), there would be different genres of music being played on each level and room of our country home!”
