My name is Kaat Arnaert. I am a singer and an actress. I am currently an Artist in Residence at the Ancienne Belgique and the time is now absolutely right to record my first album. </p>

Singing, playing and writing. These are all fabulous things which keep dreaming and fantasy alive. I used to hope that one day I'd be able to fly or do magic. My 'switch' is set to infinity. I guess you can call me a dreamer in the clouds, a box of xx, or a pair of binoculars. I am like a sponge which absorbs every passing thing, making one oblivious to time and space. A traveler who slips into character, feelings and moments and pours them into words, images or sounds. This is what I want to share with you. </p>

I started singing at the age of 14 with Sutrastore, a band combining triphop and pop. </p>

After this, I toured Belgium and The Netherlands with Tomigun, supporting Balthazar and Amatorksi. Our record was released in Germany and Switzerland. We also toured as support act for Daniel Johnston. </p>

Two years ago I had the chance to sing with my sister, Geike Arnaert (formerly of Hooverphonic) and I learned a great deal ! </p>

At the moment I'm working in my live performances and my first solo album. AB supports artists with financial advice, recording time and rehearsal space. These are all keys to a more professional way of working. I already performed as a support act for Sebastien Tellier and will be playing in a Brussels based club, The Botanique. Let's meet overthere.</p>

<u><strong>It'$ all about the $</strong></u></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
AB gives a professional structure and form to my work. However, I still need some money to record a 12-song album. With your support I would be able to pay musicians and a producer. I'm also looking for funds to master the album, for artwork and for 'pressing' the album. </p>

<u><strong>Studio Rent: normal</strong></u> cost is 10 days x 500 Euros = 5000 Euros. That is a lot of money. As i am Artist in residence at the ancienne Belgique, I can record in their studio for <strong>free</strong>.</p>
<p>
<u><strong>BUT</strong></u> I need more than a studio to be able to Record my first Album and it all costs money.</p>
