Despite her relatively young age, she has already survived cancer and faced the consequences of a destructive relationship with alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heartbreak, music and alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Romantic love and music have been the two main driving forces in Kat\u2019s life for as long as she can remember. Although falling in love has always come easily, it has never been a quiet affair. Impossible relationships, unrequited love and falling for the wrong people have \u2014 for most of her life \u2014 reinforced Kat\u2019s believe that she was not worthy of being loved or treated with respect.<\/p>\n<p>Every time Kat\u2019s heart was broken, she would throw herself into self-destructive periods fuelled by alcohol, with music as her only anchor and means of release. As a result, many of her songs were written in the depressive haze of heartache and hangovers. In 2020, however, she made the decision to say goodbye to alcohol for good. Since then, her creativity and love of music have taken her in new directions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mental and physical barriers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kat\u2019s musical expression has also faced many obstacles \u2013 including the Danish &#8220;Law of Jante&#8221;, a deeply ingrained cultural mindset that had previously been a huge internal barrier to her creative expression.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">It took a stay in New York in 2012 to break free from it. She vividely remembers one of her new acquaintances saying: <br><\/span><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">\u201cOh, drop your Danish modesty; here we embrace talent!\u201d<\/em><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\"> <br>And suddenly the songs came pouring out.&nbsp; Kat returned home as a singer\/songwriter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Even so, it would take another decade before her debut album was ready, as Kat encountered several more challenges along the way. Shortly after completing her demo EP, she suffered burnout and was on extended sick leave due to stress. Later, once she had managed to rebuild her life and establish herself as a musician again, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kat underwent surgery quickly, but as a result of the operation, she lost most of her voice. She has worked hard ever since to regain it, but has had to accept that her highest notes are gone for good. In return, her deeper vocal tone has added a new, raw dimension to her songs.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Kat Herlo stands stronger than ever, carrying a wealth of experiences and life lessons, a reclaimed voice and a lot to say. Both her heart and body have been through a lot, but have also healed many times \u2013 and, fortunately, she still has plenty to give&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-58344d4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"58344d4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df4ff76\" data-id=\"df4ff76\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-549e22c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"549e22c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>I recommend exploring more on <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/katherlo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c144fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c144fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>(Links in top and bottom corners)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Kat Artist bio Kat invites her listeners on a heartfelt journey through the entire emotional spectrum with songs about unrequited love, toxic relationships and the existential search in the wake of life crises.
