Kate Ceberano has forged a unique presence among the true legends of Australian music in a career spanning five decades: a commanding personality, an electrifying performer and a peerless voice that defies time, fashion and genre.
Her 11 platinum and 8 gold albums, 10 Top 10 albums, 15 Top 40 singles, 3 Countdown awards, 5 ARIA awards from 20 nominations (9 for Best Female Artist) and more than 6,000 live performances only begin to attest to her unassailable impact on the Australian stage.
In 2025, Kate’s Australian Made Tour builds on the momentum of two sold-out national tours — the epic orchestral My Life Is A Symphony in 2023, Superstars Live with Jon Stevens in 2024 — to celebrate her own platinum catalogue alongside classic Australian songs that helped shape and inspire her extraordinary career.
It was the original Australian Made tour of 1987 with INXS, Jimmy Barnes, Divinyls, Models and more that first brought Kate’s jaw-dropping voice to national attention on the heels of Bear Witness, the platinum debut by her early band I’m Talking. Her vast subsequent legacy includes a record-breaking run with John Farnham in Jesus Christ Superstar, a triple platinum solo pop debut, Brave, a platinum jazz album, You’ve Always Got The Blues, her 2014 induction into the Australian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and countless triumphs spanning jazz, pop , rock and beyond. Her acclaim as an exhibiting painter has just begun, while her second memoir, UNSUNG: A Compendium of Creativity, landed in ’23.
Singer, songwriter, author, artist and spokeswoman for generations of self-empowered artists defining their own ground on their own terms, Kate is a force of nature, Australian entertainment royalty and a bona fide national treasure.
