Bio
Katy Steele is an Australian singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Perth, best known as the lead vocalist of the indie rock band Little Birdy. She was born on 9 September 1983 in Perth, Western Australia, and comes from a highly musical family—her father is blues musician Rick Steele, and her brother Luke Steele is also a well-known artist (of The Sleepy Jackson and Empire of the Sun). Katy first gained attention in the early 2000s when she formed Little Birdy, a band that became one of Australia’s most successful indie/alternative rock acts. The group released multiple albums and received ARIA nominations, helping establish her as one of Australia’s standout female rock vocalists. After Little Birdy went on hiatus, she moved to New York to work on solo material, developing a more personal and experimental sound. Her solo work includes albums like Human (2016) and Big Star (2023), which showcase a shift toward pop, indie rock, and melodic alternative music. She is known for her ethereal voice, emotional songwriting, and strong melodic style, often compared to artists like Kate Bush and PJ Harvey. Over her career, she has built a reputation as a versatile performer across indie rock and pop, both in Australia and internationally.
