Take 5

Little Birdy's Katy Steele Takes 5 with 'breakout' songs


Listen Later

Katy Steele has always been surrounded by music. 

Her brothers came up with the Sleepy Jackson and Empire of the Sun, and her dad Rick Steele was a legendary blues guitarist around Perth. 

But Katy made her own mark more than 20 years ago, when she burst out as the songwriter and frontwoman of Little Birdy. With her soaring voice and knack for writing catchy pop songs, their debut album BigBigLove made a huge mark on Australian music. And now the band are reuniting to play that record in full for the first time in years. Good reason to invite her in to Take 5, and trek through some of the musical moments that have helped her break out as a songwriter.

  • Peter Gabriel – The Book of Love (Live)
  • Adrianne Lenker – Sadness As A Gift
