Kate Mahood

With songwriting roots deep in the Australian red dirt, Kate Mahood explores the places where the natural world and the human experience intertwine. Blending folk, alt-country and Americana influences, her music weaves evocative storytelling, stirring vocals and beautifully crafted guitar melodies into a sound that is both intimate and unmistakably her own.

Her debut EP, Once You Were A Mountain, was praised for its emotional depth and lyrical beauty, while her single Little Finch, an ode to the beauty of the natural world and humanity's impact upon it, was shortlisted for the 2025 Environmental Music Prize. Her latest single, Waves, is a dreamy, ethereal meditation on trust, surrender and life's constant ebb and flow, offering the first glimpse into her forthcoming album.

Whether inspired by history, the natural world or life's quiet moments, Mahood's songs are united by a curiosity about what connects us to ourselves, each other and the world around us.
