With newfound musical swagger, Melbourne’s multi-talented singer, songwriter percussionist Kat Greta returns with a reimagined version of her debut EP ‘Get Up &Go’. This time, she’s front and centre, delivering an alluring vocal performance and a fresh music video for her single, ‘Let It Go’. Originally released in 2022 with Kat on drums, this new rendition marks a transformative moment driven by self-belief and artistic vision.
“When I first released the EP, I wouldn’t dare sing it myself—I was the drummer, not the singer. Since then, I’ve embarked on a journey of growth, navigating personal struggles with mental health. Now, I feel empowered to share my stories in my own voice. This EP symbolises a fresh start that holds deep personal meaning.”
Singer, songwriter, percussionist Kat Greta sat down with Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips in her home studio to chat about the reimagined version of her EP ‘Get Up & Go’ and her career in general.

The ‘Let It Go’ music video features new scenes shot at the original beach location, blending past drum performances with her current vocal prowess. “It reflects my growth, intertwining elements of my past with my current artist identity.”
