In the summer of 2006 she was a MySpace phenomenon before she even had a record deal; 2,000 copies of her debut single, “Caroline’s a Victim,” sold out upon release in February 2007; by April she had signed to Fiction Records; two months later “Foundations” reached number two in the singles chart; by August she was celebrating a number one album in the UK and in January 2008 Geffen Records released Made of Bricks to critical praise in the U.S. Kate was honored with a Brit Award, NME Award, Q Award, UK VMA, Vodafone Music Award and more and has sold over 1 million units worldwide.
