Folk singer-songwriter | Naarm-based | Universal stories, rooted in the real

🎧  Listen to new album ‘Three Dimensional'

Cat Canteri is a Naarm-based folk singer-songwriter whose solo performances balance grit and grace. With a warm, smoky voice and vivid lyrical honesty, she sings about the quiet, often overlooked parts of life — motherhood, memory, resilience, connection.
Her songwriting is shaped by migrant family roots and years of touring and collaborating across Australia.

As a solo artist, Cat holds a room — drawing listeners in with wry humour, rhythmic storytelling, and deep emotional truth.
Her new album Three Dimensional is a collection of songs born from introspection and repetition — a meditation on time, change, and inner terrain.

Over the years, she’s shared the stage with respected artists including Kutcha Edwards, Vikki Thorn (The Waifs), and Mick Thomas, and performed at festivals across the country. Her third album Inner North was named Album of the Week by The Age and praised by The Music Below (USA) as “an impressive work of songwriting mastery.”

​Whether performing solo with acoustic guitar or in a full-band setting, Cat Canteri’s music invites audiences to pause, reflect, and feel seen.
