Kate Cameron is an English house and trance music singer with a rare alto voice.
Initially coming to prominence via her involvement in Norman Cook's Freak Power outfit, Kate Cameron has subsequent made a name for herself as credited guest vocalist on a multitude of releases.
The first notable release bearing her vocals was Mount Rushmore's funky house number "You better" in 1996. "You better" was circulated on white label and picked up some support, however a full release did not ensue.
Later that year Kate's vocals were applied to The Space Brothers production "I am" by Chakra, widely considered a pioneering 'epic house' production. Initially surfacing on the Jackpot label, "I am" received a major release through WEA, peaking at number 23 in the UK chart in early 1997.
A further Chakra single "Home" was released in summer 1997. Featuring mixes from Salt Tank and Solar Stone, "Home" peaked at 49 on the Top 75.
In 1998 Kate's vocal from "You better" was sampled on a surprise hard trance crossover hit for Dutch DJ Signum, whose "What ya got 4 me", hit number 38 in the UK Top 40 via a release on Tidy Trax
A remixed version of "You better" hit the shelves shortly after this, becoming a large crossover hit by virtue of a very popular tribal remix from Victor Calderone. Shortly afterward Kate also appeared on "What am I gonna do?" by Spacebase, released on 99 North.
Soon afterward, trance production outfit The Space Brothers made a return to the UK consciousness with their Matt Darey remixed euphoric trancer "Legacy", which also featured Kate's vocals, as did the equally well received follow up "Heaven will come". Kate can also be heard on the majority of album tracks on The Space Brothers' debut artist album "Shine".
