Kate (Catherine) Bush (Catherine Bush) (born July 30, 1958 in Bekslihit, UK) - English performer, working at the intersection of pop music and progressive rock.
Childhood and adolescence
Kathy Bush is beginning an interest in music at a very early age and wrote her first song at eleven years old. According to memories of his elder brother, learned to play the piano, she held him for 5-7 hours a day. For fourteen years of composition and performing skills of Cathy reached a level that allows to think about a serious musical career. In the 1972-73 year, she recorded at home a few demo tapes and tried through a friend of the family to offer their record companies. However, all these records differed very low quality (later remembered as a performer herself, «they just had heard that a girl that is singing, accompanying himself on piano, but could not parse any words or melodies») , and at first they drew no attention.
In 1973, one of those tapes fell into the hands of David Gilmore of Pink Floyd, who found creative young performer is an interesting and offered her assistance in the production of better quality recording. First, he provided the semi Kathy recorder and microphone, through which she re-recorded some of their songs, then invited her to his home studio where they recorded for the day about a dozen songs (Gilmore accompanied himself on guitar, and invited the two musicians from the group Unicorn parties for the performance of the bass and drums). Some of these recordings in 1986, scheduled for release on disk Kate Bush - The Early Years, but the entire trial edition was destroyed at the insistence of Kate Bush, which found that the material did not warrant publication.
The beginning of professional music career (1975-1979)
Finally, in 1975, the same David Gilmore Katie organized in a professional recording studio to pay for musicians, arranger and sound technician. Total recorded three songs: The Man With The Child In His Eyes, The Saxophone Song and Maybe (the first two then entered the album The Kick Inside). This demo recording liked the company EMI and Katie offered a contract that was signed in 1976. Apparently, in the EMI at the time believed that Bush was too early to start a professional music career, but suggested that it is advantageous conditions for long-term performer is not intercepted competitors.
Received in advance has allowed Cathy to buy a used amplifier, and pay for training at the famous school jazz dance choreographer Lindsay Kempa. Before graduating from high school Kate (as it began to be called by then), Bush has done in the home a few tens of demo recordings, some of which later went on various bootleg (these records are known collectively under the name of The Cathy Demos). In 1977 she also began to make their own group KT Bush Band. Speeches were held mainly in London pubs, and in addition to the repertoire of the group included many songs by Kate strangers things.
In 1978 he finally saw the light of the first album by Kate Bush The Kick Inside. Included in its composition Wuthering Heights became an international hit, won first place in the charts of Great Britain, Australia and other countries. The album itself reached the third place in the British hit parade. In the wake of the success of the first album was quickly recorded and released the second called Lionheart, quality performer who is still very unhappy. For release of this album was followed by a European concert tour Tour Of Life - the first and last in the career of Kate Bush, who considers that grueling concert performances do not leave her time and energy for the main thing - music.
Classical period (1980-1993)
Immediately after the end of the tour by Kate Bush is locked in the studio and began work on the next album, which acted not only as an author and performer of songs, but also as one of the producers. Released in 1980 album Never for Ever was one of the most successful in the career of the singer and took first place in the British hit parade. The most successful single from that album was the song Babooshka, reaching fifth place in the UK and the second in Australia.
In 1982, saw the light of The Dreaming, which many critics still consider the best album of Kate Bush. However, from a commercial point of view, this album was not too successful: although he reached the third place in the landscape the UK hit parade, but did not bring any major hits, and the cost of its entry were too high.
The financial problems associated with the release of The Dreaming, Kate Bush, brought the idea of creating his own studio in which it could work, without thinking about the cost of studio time. This idea was implemented, and following the album Hounds of Love Kate Bush recorded in a studio. Unlike the previous album, a concept completely, Hounds of Love successfully combined commercial and conceptual elements. The first side plate consisted of songs that focused on success in the charts, while the second includes several songs associated common theme - dealing with women who found death on the high seas. However, the idea of such a structure of the album is not quite able to realize, as a company EMI just released it on CD-ROM, rather than a vinyl disc, as all their previous releases. Song from the album Running Up That Hill (Bush originally wanted to call it A Deal With God - «The deal with God» - but the recording company is opposed to this, finding a name too epatazhnym) reached the third line in the British hit parade and became the most successful single, Kate Bush, the U.S., where it reached the thirtieth place in the hit parade magazine Billboard. Sam also won album of the thirtieth place in the U.S. and first place in the UK.
Following the Hounds of Love was released hits compilation The Whole Story (1986), also reached the first place in British hit parade, and in 1989 released the album The Sensual World, which, despite the lack of big hits, nearly repeated the success of the previous license album ( second place in the British hit parade, forty-third and «Gold» status in the U.S.).
In 1993, Kate Bush has released his next album The Red Shoes. The material was recorded for him for a concert performance, so music and arrangements on this album are no different sophistication inherent in the previous works of the performer. During the work on the album in his personal life by Kate Bush, a number of changes and sad events, including the loss of the mother and separation from a different person, which is also reflected in her songs, which has never dim. The album turned out quite successful commercially, and no one could suppose that after his release followed by a period of silence, prolonged for a long twelve years.
Period zatvornichestva and return to music
After the release of The Red Shoes Kate Bush has long departed from the musical activities. The first time the press is actively circulated rumors that she is about to return with new works, but by the end of the 90's she even completely disappear from view the press and fans. In 1998, she bore a son, Albert (omnipresent British press was able to learn about it only two years later), and completely dedicated herself to the family. It explains itself Kate Bush, her otshelnichestvo was an attempt to provide your child a normal childhood, is not overshadowed by the excessive emphasis on the part of innocent people, the inevitable for children of all celebrities.
