Kat Frankie (born Kathryn Mellander, Sydney, 1978) is an Australian singer-songwriter and producer based in Berlin since 2004. She built her reputation in the German indie scene across five solo albums, from the debut Pocketknife (2007) to Bad Behaviour (2018, Grönland Records), which reached the German top 100. Her most ambitious project to date is B O D I E S - an all-female, instrument-free a cappella ensemble of eight voices that has sold out the Berlin Philharmonie and the Elbphilharmonie.
The B O D I E S album was released on December 6, 2024 via Grönland Records, featuring nine tracks composed for the eight-voice a cappella ensemble.
The B O D I E S tour returned for a second run across Germany and the UK in January-March 2025, including dates at the Kölner Philharmonie, Berlin Philharmonie, Elbphilharmonie, and Gewandhaus Leipzig.
The B O D I E S ensemble also performed in the UK in January 2025, with shows in Bristol, London, and Manchester.
Kat Frankie announced the second B O D I E S tour leg for 2025, citing the unique resonance of eight voices performing together with no instruments.
The first B O D I E S tour in autumn 2023 sold out the Elbphilharmonie and the Berlin Philharmonie for the second time each.
