Kate Bush

Catherine Bush (born 30 July 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, dancer and record producer. She is noted for her eclectic musical style and unconventional lyrics, as well as her innovative dance performances. Her sound and choreography have influenced a range of artists.

Bush has received numerous accolades and honours, including 14 Brit Award nominations and a win for British Female Solo Artist in 1987, as well as seven nominations for Grammy Awards. In 2002, she received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

Bush's musical aesthetic is eclectic; she employs varied influences and melds disparate styles, often within a single song or over the course of an album. Simon Reynolds of The Guardian called Bush "the queen of art-pop", and she has also been described as art rock, baroque pop, avant-pop, progressive pop, and post-progressive.
