022: Be Brave, Be Kind, Be Fearless - Kat Perkins Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

A total badass boss babe who embodies strength, talent, intelligence, compassion and beauty... Kat Perkins!

Kelly Kix welcomes a fellow "small town gal" in this weeks electric episode of FanGals. Kat was raised in the small town of Scranton, North Dakota and was writing music and performing before she hit double digits. Upon graduating high school, she landed a role with the Medora Musical, in the heart of the badlands. This experience changed the trajectory of her life and Kat decided to skip college at that time and head to Minneapolis to pursue her musical passion.

In Minneapolis is where she continued to write, record and start a band, Scarlet Haze. One of the greatest highlights from her time with Scarlet Haze came quickly when they won a battle of the bands competition and had the opportunity to open for a sold out Bon Jovi concert!

Another life changing moment for Kat came when she was discovered by NBC's 'THE VOICE' via a viral video of an impromptu jam session at the Amsterdam airport. Kat was thrust into the national public eye and became a fan favorite with her incredible performances (and personality) in Season 6, where she landed in the top 4 with Adam Levine as her coach. Kat walks us through her behind the scenes experiences.

Kat is always on the move, dreaming up new and exciting ways to provide opportunities, bring joy and give back. Following her time on 'The Voice', she wanted to use her new voice and platform to do something beyond what she had done so far...this was the birth of Kat Perkins 'Rising Star Camp'. Kat also created the Rising Star Foundation as a means to provide even more opportunities for those in need financially.

During the pandemic we were all looking for joy while our lives were changing so drastically. Kat dreamed up 'Curbside Concerts with Kat Perkins', where she loaded up her gear into her truck and began bringing joy in the form of musical performances to neighborhoods around the Twin Cities.

Come together to learn as well as ignite hope and possibility, while understanding "our differences make us dope".
