Katrina (ex from the Waves) boeken

Katrina (ex from the Waves) boeken? Katrina is the former lead singer of Katrina & The Waves and is one of the few women from the 80s who is still performing and recording.

As a singer, Katrina was inspired by Motown, Dusty Springfield and girl groups such as The Shangri-Las and The Shirelles. In 1983 Katrina and Vince joined The Waves (a Cambridge based band with ex Soft Boy, Kimberley Rew) and she picked up on some of their musical influences such as Etta James, Velvet Underground and the Stones.

The band became Katrina and the Waves, and after two albums and five years washing dishes she became an international pop star with the massive hit ‘Walking On Sunshine’, which has become a timeless summer anthem. During the same year Katrina and the Waves were also nominated for a Grammy for best new artist.

‘Walking On Sunshine’ has been used in countless films - American Psycho, Secret of My Success, Look Who’s Talking and Hi Fidelity to name a few, and numerous commercials. It was even covered by Dolly Parton. The band toured worldwide with artists such as Wham, The Beach Boys, Don Henley, Pointer Sisters, Chaka Khan, The Kinks, Fleetwood Mac, Coolio and Run DMC. ‘Walking on Sunshine’ was followed by more chart hits - ‘Do You Want Crying’ and ‘Que Te Quiero’. In 2001, Katrina began a solo career, performing live in the UK and in Europe and resumed writing and recording. Her first solo album, 'Katrina Leskanich' was released in October 2005. Katrina wrote and produced many of the songs on the album, which includes collaborations with Phil Thornalley, ('Torn') and a stunning acoustic cover of Kirsty MacColl's, 'They Don't Know'. In 2006, Katrina put together a new band. In 2007 Katrina covered 'Hitsville UK' on 'The Sandinista! Project' - a new compilation and tribute to The Clash Sandinista! Album. Katrina had a UK club hit in 2008 with a dance version of ‘They Don't Know' and during the last year she has been singing as a solo artist and playing with her new band in the U.K., America, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Holland.
