About Me |
|
| Hi, my name is Katherine Shirley. I am a 26 year old singer and actress. I have had a slightly schitzophrenic career so far, as I am a crossover artist. I enjoy singing in a lot of different styles, from blues and jazz to gospel, pop, rock, musical theatre and opera. I am currently developing my operatic voice, but I am happy working in pretty much any style.People sometimes ask me what I'm really like. I never know quite how to answer them. I am something of a chameleon, able to reinvent myself a hundred times to fit what people ask of me. I speak fluent French and Italian, and it is almost a different person in my skin when I switch culture. I enjoy success and have not yet discovered anything I cannot, (with a little practice), master eventually. I have been singing since before I could walk, and it is something I will do for as long as I can. I write songs and poetry, and paint wierd and wonderful pictures. I devour books, and love to learn new things. I have picked up a few skills during my travels so far, taught myself corsetry and clothing manufacture, and have a keen interest in design. I have no idea what I will be doing in five years time, but I am sure it will be interesting. I hope that life continues to present me with new challenges, new people to meet, new skills to master, gaps to bridge, and worlds to conquer.In case you haven't guessed, I'm a Libran. | |

Movies:It depends entirely on what mood I am in and what company I am keeping. With my sister I watch old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies, plus some silly American Teen Comedies, with my Dad I watch Thrillers and the odd Action movie, Terminator, Full Metal Jacket, Grosse Point Blank. By myself I watch 'World Cinema' (mainly French and Italian films, but I am also a big fan of Pedro Almodovar), and gangster movies, particularly The Godfather trilogy, Goodfellas etc... Recently at the cinema I really liked Romance and Cigarettes, V for Vendetta, and I heart Huckabees... |

Books:Yes please, as many as possible! One day I dream of having my own library...For the train: detective stories, murder mysteries, and other whodunnits, some historical, and fiction based on forensic pathology - I really enjoy Kathy Reichs. On holiday: Anne Rice and Thomas Harris, frequently translated into other languages - I especially like the French version of 'The Silence of the Lambs' and the Italian translation of 'The Witching Hour'. With a cold: Harry Potter (in several languages, but my favourite is the Italian translation). I also have been known to read some fanfiction, although the standard varies wildly. |
