From Vancouver, Canada, Kat Higgins grew up singing Irish folk music with her siblings at local fairs and St Patrick’s Day parties. Throughout her teen years, the family band toured full-time and had success at Canadian country radio. Kat’s love of songwriting drew her to Nashville and after the band went on hiatus, she began writing for other artists. Kat has written songs recorded by Kenny Chesney, Cody Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Carly Peirce, The Lone Bellow and more. The BMG published songwriter celebrated her first number one song at country radio with Kenny Chesney’s “Knowing You” and her second number one with Cody Johnson’s “The Painter”. Both songs were nominated for ACM song of the year and “The Painter” won NSAI’s song of the year award in 2024. Apart from writing full time, she has been working on her own album being produced by Kenny Chesney and Buddy Cannon.
