Kate
Esther Calvert(1985) grew up in London. Under the name of Kate
Tempest she publicizes poetry, writes theatre plays and does spoken
word. Passionate about wordplay, her chosen semantics seem to always
grasp the appropriate atmosphere.
As
a teenager, while studying at the prestigious Brit School for
Performing arts, Tempest engaged in rap battles, resulting in this
year's unique album Everybody Down, which tells the story of three
characters and the big city's loneliness. The album, produced by Dan
Carey, has been nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Seen
as the female counterpart of Mike Skinner, her album even stands up
to his A Grand don't come for free. Her praised work is regularly
awarded. In 2013 her Brand New Ancients was awarded with the Ted
Hughes award.
The
Guardian believes the MC is one of the greatest new talents.
