This week’s interview is with Kat McDowell

Kat is a professional singer song writer who has just released her first full album – Echoes over the Ocean – here in Japan. She has also provided music for numerous commercials in Japan, and can be heard on the Starbucks Compilation (Japan 2009)

The story of her journey is an inspiring one. In this interview we hear who her early inspirations were, how she went about refining and promoting her music, and how she finally secured a record deal with Sony.

Kat also has advice for other aspiring singers in Japan.

We are then played out with two songs performed live – Bokura ni wa (the title track from her new album), and Ride with Me.

This interview was first broadcast on Japan Podshow Series 1 Episode 10
