Biography of K-Swing
K-SWING (AKA Katie Kabel) has achieved astonishing success in a very short period of time. She was nominated for the Best Breakthrough DJ Award at the 2004 Dancestar USA: American Dance Music Award Show and has been featured in the pages of top dance and lifestyle magazines including URB, DJ Mag, Teen Vogue, Remix, BPM and Loft.
After playing just about every major club in America and Canada, her reputation carried overseas and people took notice. In 2005, Katie brought her signature style of impeccably programmed, deep, rhythmic and infectious break beat and electro house music to some of England’s most prestigious clubs and events. She was also invited to provide a guest mix for UK Radio 1’s “Queen of Breaks” Annie Nightingale’s show, a very great honor.
In 2006 she was signed to Adam Freeland’s Marine Parade record label. Her first release, “This Is The Sound,” (co-produced with the infamous British producer BEBER), was hailed as “one of the 5 hottest tracks in the world…” by the legendary Pete Tong on his “In New Music We Trust” program on Radio 1 in the UK. It also received tremendous support from other Radio DJs like the Trophy Twins, Annie Nightingale and Eddie Temple Morris. Adam Freeland & Sebi Spanks did a brilliant Electro remix on the B-side.
Katie spent over 20 years of her life as a classically trained singer and dancer. She taught jazz, ballet, and modern dance for many years. As a teenager, her continuous thirst for music and motion propelled her into the dance community, where she was drawn to the sounds of break beat for its deep and funky bass lines. Katie found it to offer the most freedom of movement, interpretation and self-expression of all forms of dance music. With her remarkable DJ skills and her passion for music and dance (not to mention her beauty and natural charisma), she started playing regularly at some of the American East Coast’s top nightclubs and parties. This brings us to the present where K-Swing is no longer just a favorite on America’s east coast, but she has also made some serious noise across the entire continent of North America and now she’s gaining fans throughout the world.
