Bio
IN 2007 Italian born singer/songwriter Caterina Barbieri (alias MissinCat) packed her bags and moved to artist mecca Berlin, where she locked herself away in a recording studio with guitars, microphones and not much else, to create her stunning debut album " Back On My Feet". Critics took to her work immediately: her songs are intimate and honest, arranged in a very sparse but intense way, true to her mantra "quiet is the new loud". She was signed by indie label Revolver and first single "Back On My Feet" became a surprise radio hit (went on rotation on the biggest German Radio station like Bayern 3, SWR 3, 1Live, Radioeins, Fritz, Sputnik, gaining top 65# in the mainstream radio charts and top ten in the Capusstations: 8#. Nintendo chose it for its 2009 German television campaign. Her infectious songs also caught the attention of Amy Winehouse who asked her to support her on her German tour. 2010 has seen MissinCat constantly touring Europe, Australia and USA , where she played SXSW.
