Hi my name is Cat Madden!

Music has been the constant throughout my life since the first moments I started humming little songs to myself during play time.

In my early teens it became an all encompassing passion that inspired me to become fully trained in my crafts and go on to receive an Extended Diploma in Vocal Performance, a Bachelor of Music from ICMP (London) and a Berklee Certificate in Contemporary Vocal Coaching.

Aside from this, I have been performing live for the past 17 years! I’m lucky to have found my way to becoming a full-time musician, playing in amazing venues with the most talented musicians in BC, incl. members from Dallas Smith, Brass Camel, Five Alarm Funk and Ruby Waters.

Today music is my livelihood, my escape, my connection to the world… it’s everything. The only thing that equates to the joy I feel making music is teaching it to others.

When my students shine… I shine!

I’ve been coaching in Canada for 7 years to date. I’ve travelled far and experienced a lot to reach a place where I feel confident enough in my practice that I can trust myself in mentoring my students.

Still, increasingly I discover that every student is different with varying needs. My ethos is to be open to new methods and always be looking to expand my knowledge further with new ways to coach so that I can give every student an individualized experience based on what works for them.

Through my studies, artistry, and coaching experience I have taken what I need to create exercises and methods that have worked for my students time and time again.

You may be an absolute beginner just starting to register pitch or a professional musician seeking guidance before heading out on a big tour.
Whatever the case, I’m excited to coach you because I believe we can progress together!

Best of luck in finding the right mentor for you,

Cat!
