Kate Walsh (born 20 February 1983) is an English singer from Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, England.

Life

Walsh was born in the Essex town Burnham-on-Crouch.

Her third studio album, Light and Dark, was released in the UK on 31 August 2009. The lead single from the record, "June Last Year", was released on 24 August. She began her UK tour at the end of September that year.

Her single "Your Song" was featured in the 2008 film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging as well the 2008 film The Crew, the 2010 film The Decoy Bride, and on the TV show Grey's Anatomy. In 2011, she discussed the release of her newest album The Real Thing and her tour.

On 5 September 2012, she announced on her Facebook page that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from her music career to do something else: "By taking time out and putting some distance between me and my songs I am now, for the first time, able to start letting go of the past and can begin to move forward in a new and exciting direction".

After becoming a piano teacher and raising a family she returned to performance with new songs. She agreed to play at St Matthias' Church, Stoke Newington in November 2025.
