英国一女歌手。她出生于28年前，这成长于民谣家庭家庭的利物浦女孩一度想当艺术家，直到朋友坦言不讳，她才真正放下画笔，正视自己写歌演唱的才华。2001年，她以独立发行的第二张专辑《Little Black Numbers》，获水星音乐奖(Mercury Music Prize)提名年度最佳专辑。最后没得奖，惹得一堆媒体为她叫屈。 Birth name Kathryn Williams Born 15 February 1974 Liverpool, England Genres Folk Occupation(s) Musician Instrument(s) Vocals, guitar Years active 1998–present Kathryn Williams is an English singer-songwriter who to date has released fourteen studio albums, written and arranged for a multitude of artists and was nominated for the 2000 Mercury Music Prize. Kathryn Williams (born 15 February 1974, Liverpool, England)[1] is an English singer-songwriter who to date has released 14 studio albums, written and arranged for a multitude of artists,[2] and was nominated for the 2000 Mercury Music Prize.[3] Williams released her first album, Dog Leap Stairs, on her own Caw Records label in 1999 with a budget of £80. The follow-up, Little Black Numbers, garnered a Mercury Prize nomination in 2000, bringing her to the attention of a wider public.[4] In this new musical world when we talk about an artist’s body of work, we tend to think of a handful of records stretched out across of a handful of years, if we’re lucky. A changing industry and a focus on immediacy has done little to alter such notions, which makes Kathryn Williams something of an anomaly - releasing eleven full-length albums under her own name (and more with various side-projects) since her debut LP, Dog Leap Stairs, was released in 1999 via her own CAW Records label. As impressive a stat as that might be, it does little to capture the true magic of Williams work; the enchanting craft that has grown and expanded as she’s moved from one project to the next, from the breakthrough success of her Mercury Prize nominated Little Black NumbersLP all the way to her Sylvia Plath tribute project and 2017’sGreatest Hitscollection - not a greatest hits at all, in fact, rather an imagined retrospective for a fictional artist and an inspired soundtrack to Laura Barnett’s novel of the same name.
