Kat Reinhert

As a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, burgeoning producer, author, and educator, Kat Reinhert is an artist who defies categorization. She has released five independently produced albums and worked alongside artists and songwriters such as Anat Fort, Jo Lawry, Ross Pederson, Michael Leonhart, Josh Logan, Stephen Lit, and David Cook, as well as written for Sesame Street and collaborated on podcast theme songs.

As an author, she has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals and books and has edited and coauthored several books on songwriting, contemporary voice, and popular music, most notably Songwriting for Music Educators and Action-Based Approaches in Popular Music Education.

Her love of sharing knowledge led her to pursue a doctorate in music education with an emphasis on popular music education from the University of Miami, where she was also the director of contemporary voice from 2017 to 2019 before relocating back to New York City. She is also the cofounder of Songwriting for Music Educators, a company dedicated to empowering educators to create and explore songwriting for themselves and with their students.

Reinhert currently splits time between Boston and New York City, where she continues to pursue artistic and creative projects.
