MINTLIFE FEATURES THE GREAT KAT IN “A SHOCKING TALENT”
MintStyle: What Your Business Style Says About You
A Shocking Talent
The Great Kat is a larger than life Juilliard trained classical violinist turned guitar shredder (extremely fast guitarist in the heavy metal style). In other words she takes her knowledge of the great works of Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart and processes them through a heavy metal music filter to “single-handedly resurrect classical music.”
As for her own personal style, Kat describes her “shred-metal style” which includes, “exaggerated, outrageous metal outfits, leather garb, and insane imagery designed specifically to get attention and wake up the masses to the genius and complexity of Beethoven, Paganini, Liszt, and more.” As a style influence, Kat references violin virtuoso Niccolo Paganini who “dressed in all black and encouraged people to think that he was possessed by the devil to be able to perform such supernatural displays of technique.”
What she does: Kat’s extreme talent and classical training allows her to create an outrageous persona that supports both her professional message and motivation.
What you can do: Let your professional style take flight. If you’re secure in your talents, background, and training, you can work toward adding more creativity to the mix.
