| Kate Bush had a hit at 19 with her 1978 debut The Kick Inside. Since then, she’s cemented her status as an influential female singer-songwriter with seminal albums like Never For Ever, Hounds of Love and The Red Shoes. She came back into the spotlight in 2005 with her album Aerial. |

| We’ve always been entranced by Kate Bush, and we’re impressed by how she alludes to everyone from James Joyce to Elvis Presley in her music. Her skills are undeniable, and she’s just weird enough to be a complete original (without being just plain weird). |

Catherine Bush was born on July 30, 1958 in Bexleyheath, Kent, England. Her parents, Robert and Hannah Bush, were a doctor and a nurse by profession, although Kate’s father was a skilled pianist and her mother was a prize-winning dancer. Kate grew up with two older brothers, John and Paddy, who included her in their games. “They’d always end up tying me to a tree or something,” recalls Kate. Kate’s brothers’ love of English folk music had a great influence on the young girl, and the siblings collaborated once Kate’s music career took off.
As a teen, Kate attended St. Joseph’s convent school in Abby Wood, South East London. Feeling alienated from her peers, Kate wrote scores of songs, and was discovered and mentored by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Gilmour helped fund Kate’s first demo sessions, and at 16, Kate signed with EMI Records. But Kate’s major-label debut would gestate for over two years, during which time Kate finished school, took lessons in dance, mime, and music, and performed in small venues in the London area. |
