Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Geneva and raised in Los Angeles, Kat began working in commercials as a child. Dance was part of that early path too, with performances alongside artists including Missy Elliott and Pharrell Williams. Her music career grew through work with will.i.am and The Black Eyed Peas.
The Bonnie connection.
The Vampire Diaries introduced her to a worldwide fan community as Bonnie Bennett. She played the role across eight seasons while continuing to make music.
Following the sound.
Her debut EP Against the Wall arrived in 2012. She later explored 90s R&B on Roxbury Drive with Babyface, then funk through her work with Prince. Long Hot Summer returned to dance-pop in 2022, with a GLAAD partnership and a Pride tour supporting the organization.
Music with a purpose.
UNHCR named Kat a Goodwill Ambassador in December 2020. Her 2026 album K’Pelle: One World, One Song extends that connection between music and humanitarian work, drawing on her Liberian roots and bringing together voices from around the world.
