Early life
Earl was born to Charles and Pomposa Smithson in Anchorage, Alaska. She is of Filipino, Dutch and Welsh descent.
She informed her audience at a Rick Astley Concert in April 2017 that she has been married three times.
Musical career
She began playing piano at four, sang in her church choir, and began playing the guitar when she was seventeen. The young singer nursed the dream to lead a musician's life in between shifts at her parent’s small-town gas station in Chugiak, Alaska.
That dream became a reality when Kate moved to Los Angeles in 2004, where her talent was promptly recognized and led to a record deal with The Record Collection whose music was distributed by Warner Bros. Records. Her debut album, Fate Is the Hunter, was released in May 2005.
Earl left Record Collection in 2007 and signed with Universal Republic the following year. A self-titled album, Kate Earl, was released as a digital download on August 18, 2009 and in physical copy on November 3, 2009.
In 2012, Earl signed with Downtown Records. Her latest album, Stronger, was released on November 20, 2012, and was written and recorded with Brett Dennen, Blake Mills, and other well-respected Los Angeles musicians. The first single from the album, "One Woman Army", was released on September 18, 2012. Earl joined the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty as the opening act during their Summer 2013 US and Canadian tour.
In 2014, Earl decided to go indie and self produce her new album - Ransom.
In 2015 Earl submitted two songs to the BBC Introducing programme, "Good Witch" and "We Promised", and was chosen, as one of six from 200,000 entries, to appear on the BBC Introducing Stage at that year’s Hyde Park festival. She was soon signed to BMG Records in the UK, and changed direction into “proper jazz”, original, old-school, authentic jazz, drawing on her childhood love of Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Big Band swing.
The first single taken from her forthcoming album is ‘Tongue Tied’, which was nominated Radio 2's Record of the Week for the week starting Saturday 25 February 2017. The up-tempo, syncopated swing "Tongue Tied" utilizes an sample from "Disco Bob" by Professor Bobo and Bosko Slim. "Disco Bob" was used as the soundtrack of TV ads for Homebase.
Earl has been announced as the opening act for Rick Astley on his UK tour starting March 2017.
