 "ELECTRO FEELS SO GOOD AND I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD"....DJ CAT NYC.....Like a DJ switching records, beat-matching to new melodies, she flipped and shuffled her life course, layering one job on top of another.
All to the rhythm of her influences. Houston native Catherine Wentworth started reviewing albums for a local magazine, Urban Beat, when she was still in high school. In college she moved on to Photography, and it was not long before New York based hip-hop magazine The Source was eliciting Cat.
Her move to New York had her doing large-scale shoots at Pier 59. Assisting in shoots and making cd's for her favorite photographers, Cat's song selections soon became a popular accessory at the studio. A natural at organizing music with events, a production company subsequently snatched her up to arrange the music at high-end functions, such as Entertainment Weekly's 10-year Anniversary party.
For the occasion, Cat hired DJ Mark Ronson at The Roseland. The evening was a success, and more importantly, a remarkable turning point in her career: Ronson was quick to recognize Cat's "musicability," and encouraged the then 21-year old to pursue a DJ-ing route. Coincidentally, Cat's boyfriend at the time managed a music studio.
"Hanging out there was basically my education." Fiddling around with the equipment became an addiction, then second nature. Within months, she secured residency at club queen Amy Sacco's venues, Lot 61 and Bungalow 8. Nowadays, DJ CAT has expanded her resume to include rockin East Village bars, Vanity Fair magazine events, Rebecca Taylor fashion shows, posh Ian Schrager hotel lounges, and exclusive private parties for New York celebrities like Robert De Niro.
"ELECTRO HOUSE, TECHNO, 80Z, and ROCK, I want to make a crowd dance; a lot!" Her mission seems accomplished, as her gigs in Miami, L.A., London, Hannover, and Amsterdam have people partying well past 5 am. But Cat's already wandered into her next musical indevorproducing. She won't say much about it now, but with this girl's record, one thing's for sure, and that's a hit."
DJ Cat is available for DJ bookings worldwide.
