Kati Hendricks was born singing. At age 5 she toured with one of country music’s biggest acts and appeared on TV almost weekly on the Lewis family Gospel Hour In Atlanta, Georgia. She also appeared on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour in New York. At age 7, she recorded her first album and was considered the youngest recording artist in the country and she regularly appeared on the Buddy Starcher show in Charleston WVa.
She’s considered a bit of a prodigy herself playing six different instruments, piano, organ, guitar, ukelele, drums and accordion. As she continued to perform, she realized the gift she had to teach her vocal technique and positioned herself as a critically acclaimed voice and performance coach who has helped nurture, develop and fine tune some of the world’s greatest singers of all ages.
Kati attended Columbia College where she studied psychology and music. She also has an extensive background in private training with renowned vocal coach Dr. Rachel L. Lebon (voice specialist, author, and educator who toured worldwide with Tops in Blue. She is Professor of Classical, Commercial and Jazz Voice and Musical Theatre at North Texas, Belmont College and the University of Miami and author of The Professional Vocalist and The Versatile Vocalist) as well as world-renowned vocal coach Gina Maretta ( a well-known Miami voice coach, Soprano, La Scala, milan and master of the Aureliano Pertile technique, who at the time was also coaching Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Steve Perry, and Jon Secada). Kati was thrilled to be accepted as a part of Gina's vocal studio.

“It’s very challenging for me to watch many of the vocal competition shows! I usually have to leave the room because I immediately See and hear stress being placed on the vocal cords that will eventually lead to loss of voice and the possibility of surgery…I want to save all of you from that heartache!”
That is why the blend is so crucial in your vocal technique.”
