Cat Levan comes from a deeply musical family. Growing up, random instruments always seemed to appear in the house — a violin one day, a trumpet the next, a flute or banjo — but there was always a piano and a guitar. “My mother would play the piano as we were winding down to sleep. It was a dreamy way to drift off.”
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Cat is a singer songwriter whose debut album Double Life was a lifetime in the making. At 18 she walked away from a record label opportunity — a regret that haunted her for years. Decades later, she flew to California to record with Billboard hitmaker Steve Oliver, and hasn’t looked back.
“I can’t imagine life without music. It’s a good way to wind down at the end of the day — and to ignite everything at the beginning of it.”
—Cat Levan
The 11-track album explores love, loneliness, connection and uncertainty — weaving world beats, tribal rhythms and lush contemporary arrangements into a sound that is unmistakably Cat’s own.

Musicians have two lives. One on the road playing live events and the other at home. Being in a faithful relationship helps them to do their job better and juggle the diversity of their life. It's a double life, but in a good way.
We all get stuck sometimes in situations that we know aren't healthy for us. It could be stuck in an attitude, and addiction, an unhealthy reaction to something that happened to us, a thought, relationship, or habit that we know isn't working for us. Even when we don't want to make the shift, a little voice in our head will keep poking at us to get moving.
I love Christmas and everything it stands for, joy, love, family, caring for others, lights, magic. I hope you enjoy this video. Please share it and leave a comment if you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!

This is one of my all time favourite songs, sung in the style of Eva Cassidy. It has special meaning for me so I thought I'd put out a video of me singing it. The bunny's name is Velvet. She is an adorable velveteen rabbit who loves to snuggle and gives lovely bunny kisses.
I heard the music for this song and the words just came. It's inspired by two couples I know who feel like no matter where they are, their partner is their home. It's the kind of love that we all hope to have in our lives.
Cat Levan's latest single, Love For Christmas brings back all of the good memories from Christmas. Family holiday get-togethers, the smell of turkey roasting, potatoes boiling, people talking and laughing all bring back the desire to spend the holidays together as a family.
When I was a child, I watched the grown-ups steal kisses underneath the mistletoe and wondered how I could get some of my own. My mom told me it was a tradition—to kiss under the mistletoe with someone you love. From that moment on, I couldn’t wait to grow up and have some mistletoe kisses of my own.
The excitement and magic of Christmas never fade for me. I cherish this season when people are a little kinder, more loving and forgiving. But at its heart, we remember that Christmas is more than a season—it’s a sacred reminder to lead with love, to offer grace, and to forgive. And remember that it all began with the quiet, powerful gift of a baby boy.
Here’s an old favourite of mine. Whenever I sing it, I think of the joy in children’s eyes—the magic and excitement that fills this time of year. It’s also a gentle reminder that the year is coming to a close, and soon we can leave it behind and turn our hearts toward the promise of a fresh new beginning in the New Year.
