Kate Ceberano remains an iconic and beloved figure in Australian music. A Melbourne-born talent, she first captured attention as a teenager thanks to her undeniable stage presence. In the early 1980s, she led the funk-pop band I’m Talking, delivering top 10 singles and a gold album that marked her as a rising star.

Her solo career took off with You’ve Always Got the Blues in 1987, followed by the pop-soul powerhouse Brave in 1989—a triple-platinum milestone that solidified her place in Australian music history.

Four Decades, Countless Achievements

Kate has explored a wide range of genres—pop, soul, jazz, funk—with ease and excellence. To date, she’s released 30 albums, snagged multiple platinum and gold awards, charted top singles, and won four ARIA Awards. But her influence isn't limited to music alone: she’s also graced screens and stages, hosted her TV show, judged on X-Factor Australia, and triumphed on Dancing with the Stars.

The New Chapter – Australian Made – LIVE

In 2025, Kate celebrates 40 years in music with Australian Made – LIVE, capturing live performances from her national tour of the same name. The album features her classics—Pash, Brave, Bedroom Eyes—alongside heartfelt renditions of Australian legends like INXS, Divinyls, Sia, Paul Kelly, and more.
