Thats a healthy chunk of life right there (though Im sure my Pepsi Max intake throughout these years would cancel out the healthy part)! Ive grown and learnt so much since I wrote my first song Some Days, when I was the tender age of 17. I was such a loser. I remember sitting on this massive bean-bag sofa my Mumd bought. It was gross but thats beside the point. I just said to myself Im gonna go and write a song, and off I went upstairs to my room and wrote it. It was simple back then (in nam), I didnt put a silly amount of thought into what chords I was playing or what I was singing and as far as I can remember, I went with the first melody I thought of! Kinda wish I was still that relaxed about songwriting if Im honest. However, Im really proud of the songs Ive written since then (and Ive written a lot). So Ive decided, after waiting quite a bit of time now, to group together the songs that hold the most significance to me and my little life, and unleash them to the world. The world meaning you. The beautiful human-being reading this. The first album always means the most, I think. Who knows? Maybe Ill look back in ten years time and die from cringing. But right now I couldnt be happier with where myself and this album are musically. I realise Ive floundered a bit in the past in terms of my sound, but I really think Ive come into my own now. I bloody love it. I hope you do too. I cant thank you enough for sticking with me over these years and being so patient. Enjoy! (Please?) P.S: I apologise in advance for the amount of ex-boyfriend references there are in this book. He spurred on quite a few of these songs. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that Kate

Fast forward to 2011 and the talented self-taught musician, username Katem3, who posted that first recording online in November 2007, has now racked up over 124,000 subscribers and uploaded 100 videos. Thats around 8 hours worth of material. Not to mention the videos shes uploaded on other YouTube channels over time; which is absolutely crazy when you take the time to think. Her memory of the early days is hazy, but what Kate does remember is that her first upload was a very far-from-polished rendition of Ludivico Einaudis Le Onde. She cringes looking back at older videos, and Im sure it comes as no surprise that a fair few have been deleted over time. But cringing is to be expected when you consider that Kate, who plays piano and guitar, has never had a music lesson that taught her anything of real value. Sure, she turned up to GCSE Music classes and attended one or two piano lessons, but never did anything really stick. She insists that music theory has never been her strong point, but its evident that you dont need a huge background knowledge of Mozart and Chopin to understand and write good music. I am impressed by the ease and confidence with which she speaks about learning to play and admire her for learning on her own terms.

We have always had a piano in the house for as long as I can remember so I think my Dad taught me a few things and then I just sort of taught myself. I bought a cheap guitar for about 20 off eBay when I was 13 and then dabbled with that for two or three years. I learned gradually, learning a chord a year or something ridiculous like that! Her aspirations dont stop there either as Kate excitedly tells me her next target is learning to play the drums. After uploading her first song onto YouTube, a beautiful cover of the Bright Eyes hit Landlocked Blues, she turned to songs she had written herself. Kate penned her first song at just 17 and she describes writing it as though it were the most simple and natural thing in the world. I remember saying to myself, I am going to write a song today. It wasnt difficult at all. I literally went upstairs to my room and it just kind of happened. She makes it sound so easy and to her, at the time, it was. With a natural songwriting ability, heaps of talent and YouTube at her fingertips, who was to stop her? Accumulating 100 subscribers within a year was a huge milestone as the implications of Kates YouTube videos really started to sink in. Going from performing for family and friends to 100 strangers watching her perform on the internet was a crazy concept for the budding musician.

She still looks astonished as she says, It happened really gradually. I remember getting to 100 subscribers and going absolutely mental. It was insane for me that that many people had seen my videos. It was mindblowing. I never even had the slightest idea that could happen when I started uploading. Spurred on by her success, Kate posted more videos from her Devon home. I started putting up a video a week. At the beginning it was just whenever I felt like it. Obviously as time went on, I got a new guitar as I was thinking more about it. I got a new camera and started adding harmonies and other instruments in some of the videos. I experimented a lot more over time. Using YouTube can make artists very vulnerable but Kate argues the positives far outweigh this. She pauses, taking a sip of her chocolate milkshake and says, What I love about YouTube is there is no middle man. You can literally do whatever the hell you want and put it up. They can see all your flaws, everything, and that is what I love about it. Anyone in the world can see those videos. This naturally gave Kate an immediate, close relationship with her subscribers. She speaks honestly in each video, swear words included, updating them on what she is doing in her life, which takes them further than the music, allowing artist and listener to really connect. You cant help but admire the courage of the young musician as she puts herself and her music out there to the world. She is not afraid to let her

subscribers witness all sides to her personality and proves to be an inspiration to young people, reminding them to have a more courageous and carefree outlook. Her YouTube videos are far from glamorous, either taking place in the bathroom or her bedroom, which is one of the things that make her so appealing to her subscribers. There is something very normal about this image and will encourage other aspiring musicians as they can see how Kate has grown as an artist through her videos, starting off with basic equipment and no microphone. There is no doubt about it, Kate is just an average girl who loves to make music. She can continue to perform with confidence knowing that her subscribers love her for her down to earth values and that is why she will always hold a genuine loyalty to them. I never want to get to the point where other people are tweeting for me. Its the only way I can stay true to it all and that is the most important thing for me. As well as handling her new-found online popularity, Kate was juggling university life, studying theatre and performance at The University of Plymouth. She frowns. I was due to go back into my second year of university so I went back on the first day and then quit. They were talking about all the books we had to read

and I just thought I dont want to do it anymore. Its more than understandable that Kate wanted to drop the lectures and books in order to concentrate on her exciting new music career so it really was a nobrainer for the 19 year-old at the time. Kate doesnt like to use the word fan as she feels it separates and alienates the artist from the public. She screws up her face when I mention the word and prefers to view her subscribers as friends and people that she can chat to at her gigs. They seem to know who I am so I have a joke with them. I dont like the word fan at all as it separates the artist and I really dont like that. It puts them at more of a personal level which I think is important. With a happy childhood and strong family ties, it is no surprise that Plymouth is close to Kates heart and is the place she calls home. Her eyes light up as she explains, I love Plymouth. I have a big soft spot for it. Its home and I love it there. She has plans to move to Bristol as she feels it has the right balance of city and countryside. With a mixture of influences ranging across The Pogues, Bon Iver, Ellie Goulding, classic hits from the 1960s, 70s and 80s as well as 90s pop music, it is fair to say Kate has a diverse interest in music. She is confident she can keep her own strong sense of identity, bringing in her influences, yet creating her own sound. Doesnt exactly sound easy but with Kates determination, this is

exactly what she has achieved. Plus, you wont see her selling out anytime soon. She pauses, thinking, and then says, In the last three months I finally had an epiphany and thought no, I really want to do my own thing. Its not as much about the fame and money as it used to be. Now its a case of I want to make music that I want to make. For somebody so young and new to the music industry, she is not fazed by external pressures or feel that she should be going in a certain direction. Her confidence has recently taken a new path as she becomes increasingly aware of what she is capable of musically. In the last few months, Ive had a complete change of heart. I feel like I can do whatever I want and theres nobody stopping me. Im more self- assured about what I want to do but Im still me. How refreshing to see a young artist in the music industry with a complete mind of her own, driven only by the music and the people supporting her. Kate would ultimately love to have a live band. To have the full effect live I would want a band. If I could and I won the lottery then I would, because I cant wait to have that live experience but for now its just me and my guitarist. Kate found her guitarist when she held auditions in Plymouth. It was very important to her that they were from Plymouth as they could travel the country together performing gigs and keeping the home vibe very much alive wherever she was in the country. Kates family have kept her grounded and have supported her throughout.

My Mum is ridiculously proud. She always turns up randomly to my gigs and surprises me. I cant express in words how important my family are. They are the only people that will always be there. Im still the same at home and I still get told off for playing my guitar too loud. Sounds like a pretty normal family and I can tell that Kate is extremely grateful to them. Kate first realised she could seriously form a career for herself when she entered the Skindividual competition. The winner was determined by which artist had the largest guest list of fans. With such a large and growing following on YouTube, Kate knew this was her chance to get noticed further afield. Kate won the competition, earning herself a support slot for a Ladyhawke gig in London. Not a bad prize for someone who had never performed live in front of a crowd before. But why do things in half measures? She also entered Britains top online talent competition 1click2fame where the winner is chosen by the voting public. Kate went on to win the Grand Prize of 100,000 in sponsorship, proving she has what it takes to become a successful artist with the publics votes behind her. She has been putting the money to good use, buying new recording equipment and supporting her new album. Kate toured this year, which was a mind-blowing experience for the singersongwriter as it provided the perfect opportunity for her to physically connect with all the people that came to see her play and to meet some of her YouTube subscribers in the flesh. Kate beams, It was my second tour but was the first proper tour done with all

the right promoters and everything. You can see why everyone says it is the best part. You get to travel in the day and play music at night. I had the best time. She was living every musicians dream, doing what she loves best, performing and singing, bringing her YouTube videos to life. She couldnt ask for any more. I try and spend as much time as I possibly can with each person. I think its really important to say hello and thanks for coming. The best part about it is you get to meet so many people each night from all over the place. I really enjoy getting to speak to them. Kate admits the nerves still kick in before performing and laughs, Twenty minutes before a gig and nobody can even talk to me because Im a mess. Two days before a gig I wont be able to eat, Im just a constant bag of nerves. I think its good to have a healthy amount of nerves though. Her close relationship with the audience is reflected in her performance as she prefers her gigs to be intimate. She isnt promising special effects and numerous stage costumes but with Kate McGill youll get the real deal genuine, heartfelt music. I think intimate gigs are by far the best and definitely what I want to continue to do for as long as I possibly can. Kate was in good company when working on her album as she headed over

to LA to co-write songs with top music writers such as Ted Bruner, who has also worked with Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Kesha, and Curt Schneider, who has written songs for folk artist Lissie. The words Big Deal certainly spring to mind. Kate pauses and sounds apprehensive as she explains that she found the experience daunting at first since she is used to writing on her own. However, not afraid to leave her comfort zone, she found working with the writers a complete success. Luckily, the two songs I wrote for the album worked really well and they totally got me and whatever I did and wanted to put in, they let me. Sure, Kate is happy to have co-written songs on her album, although she still insists on a large or full input into every song. Using a song that she hadnt written or co-written herself is a big no in her books. This is not surprising as her music is obviously very personal to her and you really get the feeling she truly believes in what she singing with songs such as Youre All I Wanted and Little Boat. Kate is well aware of the power of YouTube and the way in which it has shaped and elevated her career. She still feels very connected and loyal to the site as she realises that she would not be the artist that she is without it. This counts for a lot for the new generation of music lovers out there. Without the online thing I would be nowhere. I think the online world is such a big part of this generation and it can only grow. Its brilliant to have that instant connection with fans.

When I ask Kate what she would like to be doing in five years time, instead of answering with the usual fame and success line, she shrugs her shoulders, smiles and simply explains that she is very happy with what she is doing and wants to continue for as long as possible. Music is the only thing Im good at and the only thing I want to do. It is quite astonishing to see how far this young girl from Plymouth has come, all for the love of music and her dedicated subscribers, fully documented on YouTube of course. YouTube has not only kick-started her musical career but given Kate a certain type of music career. A career which has ensured a devoted following with subscribers who value her not only for her music but for her undeniable character. Not every artist is as fortunate and many strive their whole working career to achieve the sort of relationship Kate has with her supporters. Ill definitely always continue to upload on there. It is literally the only reason Im doing it and I wouldnt be anywhere without it.

rEpl ACEd
This, believe it or not, is my favourite song on the album. I have so much love for it. I remember when I first wrote it, I couldnt stop listening to it for days and days. I realise that may sound really self-absorbed and weird, but it was like someone else had written the song and it just happened to be everything I was feeling at that moment. On the day it was written, a friend had told me about something my ex-boyfriend had said about me, and I remember being completely bewildered by it as it sounded nothing like him. Id realised that over the two years wed been apart, hed been replaced by someone completely different. Someone who didnt really know how to love and wasnt ever going to let himself know how. It was quite a sad realisation to be honest, but hey thats over now.

Its like your eyes are vicious spies Theyre in disguise as a supermassive black hole, and I unfold Its like your touch is just too much for my skin to deal with And so it shields itself With all this power under your belt You knowingly mocked the way I felt And now I know what it feels like In the corner of your narrow mind One hundred weeks later I find hes been replaced with A soul that knows too much, a heart thats out of touch Oh yes, youve hit the right nerve You take your words; you make them heard So loud, I cant speak And now I think I know why I never wanted to You take my hands, make sure each grain of sand has disappeared with you You know, I used to know you well Im staring at the spot you fell And now I know what it feels like In the corner of your narrow mind One hundred weeks later I find hes been replaced with A soul that knows too much, a heart thats out of touch Oh yes, youve hit the right nerve You wanna love, you wanna You wanna love but youve forgotten how You wanna love, you wanna You wanna love, but you dont love me now

I feel numb Ive realised youre not the body I knew once Youre on top But on the outside, you are everything Im not

CurSEd
Writing Cursed was such an enjoyable experience. I dont think Ive ever found songwriting as easy as I did that day. I wrote it in L.A with a lovely guy called Curt Schneider. The night before the session, I was browsing Facebook (as you do), and through some way or another, I realised my exboyfriend had deleted me as a friend. As you can imagine, I was really upset by it and let it mess with my head a lot. I hated the fact that after a long time of not being together, I still felt crap about it. Classic heartbreak. So, the next day, I went in with the word cursed imprinted on my brain. It was and still is the perfect word to describe those horrendous years of heartbreak, ha! Thank god Im not back there again. However, I do bloody love this song so at least something came out of it.

But if I let you take another toll, Ill lose control Cant take it in Refuse to let you through to my skin Cant take it in Your breath wont let me breathe in Im wearing thin Youve worn me down, Ive let you win Wont take it in Your breath wont let me breathe In comes all the hurt Push it out I think Im cursed So now, youve gone and cut the strings that held us into place Even though a place so hard to find should never feel unsafe It couldnt be a more frustrating situation to be in Cant take it in Refuse to let you through to my skin Cant take it in Your breath wont let me breathe in Im wearing thin Youve worn me down, Ive let you win Wont take it in Your breath wont let me breathe In comes all the hurt Push it out I think Im cursed

full TO ThE brim

You may or may not know this song already, but if you dont, Im sure youll be able to see quite clearly what Im singing about. I wrote it when I was having a really sad day. I know Im a girl and sad days arent all that rare bla bla bla. But I distinctly remember this day being sadder than others. It ties in a little bit with Diamonds and Waste where I talk about comparing myself to other people and not feeling good enough. Its like I could see what I was feeling objectively and I knew it was a silly way of thinking, but I just couldnt stop myself. I didnt know why I was so caught up with it, because Im actually quite a positive person (I know. Ridiculous isnt it?) I eventually learned that although I couldnt stop myself immediately from thinking that way, I could stop feeling so down about it. I could learn to not only realise how lucky I am, but be bloody happy with that! Hence; my heart is full to the brim.

Dont know why I feel this way Dont know why I have nothing to say When my mind is full to the brim Of everything youve done Dont know why I like you so much Dont know why you have the golden touch When I am perfectly capable too Ive forgotten what it feels like to feel like Im worth it, Im worth it and Ive forgotten what it feels like to feel like Im worth it Dont know why you are the one Dont know why I never feel my work is done When my hands are bleeding Theyre so sore Ive forgotten what it feels like to feel like Im worth it, Im worth it and Ive forgotten what it feels like to feel like Im worth it Dont know why you steal my light, but I know why I continue to fight Cause my heart is full to the brim My heart is full to the brim

I wrote this beautiful song (if I do say so myself) in L.A with an amazing guy called Ted Bruner. We were and still are on exactly the same wavelength when it comes to religion, politics etc which is essentially what The Key is about. We talked for hours about education and marriage, world leaders and parents, friends and enemies and anything else you can possibly think of! We didnt write the song to be controversial in any way or to piss anyone off, but there are some really important points within the song that Im more than happy to have raised. Too many things nowadays are swept under the carpet. For example, is marriage really all that important nowadays? Is there really a God? Who knows? Ive recently learnt that life is all about perspective. Be positive and the world will help you out.

Were taught to tell the truth But yet were taught to force a smile They lead us down a road But they can only see a mile We only see what they want us to see We only see what they want us to see They line us up in uniforms And tell us not to feel Theyve never been to heaven But they tell us that its real They only see what they wanna see They only see what they wanna see So tell me all your secrets and Ill tell you all my fears Cause if we knock these walls down We might know why were here

We watch them pray Down on their knees Cause thats the way that they were taught to be We watch them pray And thanks to them, we can be free Down on their knees Thanks to them Cause thats the way that they were taught to be And thanks to them, we can be free We have the key Thanks to them Youll be you and Ill be me We Youll be We Youll be have the key you and Ill be me have the key you and Ill be me We have the key Youll be you and Ill be me

They say that theyre not puppets Then we point them to the strings Convinced theyll stay together By the paper and the ring But they cant see what we want them to see They just cant see what we want them to see

This was actually a really bizarre period of my life. In fact, it was only in Summer 2010 that it was written! It feels like years and years ago now. I wrote it when me and a longtime friend had been spending a lot of time together. More than we ever had before. Weve always gotten on really well and the more time we spent together, the more we realised this. You can imagine how it went. Boy and girl get on well. They get on really well. They spend silly amounts of time together. It was just a matter of time till the inevitable question of do we, dont we came up, and Look Down is about that exact moment. I felt like we were about to make a massive leap off a building and I was terrified of whatd happen if we took it to the next level, as it were. I didnt want to look down. It just so happens that we never did!

Whats wrong? Youre quiet now I want to disappear but you wont let me go Youre persistent with my heart But Im still not sure we should Cause if we fall, fall, fall, fall Ill lose it all, all, all, all Im about to look down Im about to look down Can you promise me theres not a crack in this ground? Im bound to turn this all around Lets talk Again, cause now your head is back where it was before You know, I can see your eyes moving slow Its sinking in. This is it now Cause if we fall, fall, fall, fall Ill lose it all, all, all, all Im about to look down Im about to look down Can you promise me theres not a

We only talk once in a while And when we do Im reminded you Are the only one I crave To return the love I gave Its problematic

yOurE All i wANTEd

Ive always maintained that Youre All I Wanted is the most personal song Ive ever written. Its got real-life written all over it. Every single word in this song means a silly amount to me. I dont even want to go into too much detail about why or when it was written because I think the words and melodies say everything. What I will tell you is, when recording this live for the album, I forced myself to go back briefly to the state I was in when I wrote it. It wasnt the nicest of states I felt so sad. I cried when I wrote it and I cried again when singing it for the album. If you listen carefully, I think you can hear a little whimper enjoy.

Cause youre with her And Im sure shes lovely too But does it occur to her That youll more than do? Cause if I had the chance Thered be no second glance Its problematic Youve got your traits And God do I miss them If my memory fades Ill need you more then And Im not sure if I can Be your biggest fan Its problematic Youre all I wanted And its simple but so is it truthful If you hear this Youll know its about you Like every song I write And none of them do So Ill write and write again To release more of this pain Its problematic

You may roll your eyes Over before it starts And you cut all you ties But theyre tied around my heart And Ill never let go Til Im satisfied you know Its problematic Youre all I wanted And its simple but so is it truthful Ive heard youve changed But how am I to know? I dont see your face Its not something you show A blessing in disguise? Or a sight for sore eyes? Its problematic Youre all I wanted And its simple but god is it truthful

diAmONdS ANd wA STE

I dont think Id ever want to let many people know who this song is about, purely because Im in a completely different mind-set now from when I wrote it. But, Ill happily tell you what its about though Im sure youve already come up with your own interpretation! I have a horrible habit of putting people on the highest of high pedestals and an even worse habit of comparing myself to said person. Diamonds and Waste is me indulging in this destructive way of thinking. It didnt matter what I did, this person would always be that little bit better and I think the line I may be ace, but youre the king said everything I needed it to. Oh, and if youre wondering why Diamonds and Waste?, Im referring to the good and bad in people!

Is it your name? I held it up to the light and the rain Youre so real, I feel every grain Of pleasure and pain It is your presence? It takes over the mountains and deserts Theyre never lost in the summer And its cause you are the vital part What a start We are a pack of cards I may be ace, but youre the king The king of everything Look what you win We are a pack of cards I may be ace, but youre the king The king of everything Look what you win What a waste We are a pack of cards I may be ace, but youre the king The king of everything Look what you win We are a pack of cards I may be ace, but youre the king The king of everything Look what you win And does it feel really good to know that youre understood And does it feel really good to know you would if you could

Is it your traits? You know that anyone will bite the bait Cause theyre all wanting more and more of the taste Of your diamonds and waste

Throughout the writing and making of this album, quite a few people have walked in and out of my life, while some have been with me from the very beginning. Theyve all been just as important to me and to this process and I think now is the perfect time to thank them so without further ado! Firstly, I want to thank my family. Mum, Dad, Nick, Victoria and Stephen I have no idea where Id be without you. Not a bloody clue. The support youve shown me in the past 4 years has been immense. And though I rarely show it, I am so grateful. Thank you. (Oh and of course the family pets; Prue, Phoebe, Tao & Tia!) I want to thank my aunties Bridget and Samantha for being who they are and for always loving me unconditionally. A stupidly large thank you to my amazing friends; Hayley Goddard, Josh Deuchars, Dan Eglinton, Martin Fitzwater, Sally Inch, Roisin Gaughan, Rhod Morgan and Olly Reed for always being there and for generally being fucking brilliant. All of the time. Can I also thank my manager Charlie Arme, for not only putting up with my indecisiveness/stubbornness, but for making things happen just the way I want them to! A huge thank you to Jamie Copplestone, who helped and guided me through a lot of tough situations and decisions back in the day. Id be ridiculous without you both.

I want to thank Daniel Goudie (Pilot) for working so hard (sometimes too hard) on my album. Youve put so much time and care into this project and the word grateful will never come close to what I feel. My songs have come alive! Not only that, but youve been an amazing friend as well. Thank you so much! And last but definitely not least, I want to thank ALL of my extended family. Whether youre in Wales or Plymouth, youll always make the effort to come and see a show and Im so thankful! I also want to thank Ross Burr for being such a babe; Steve Sampson for being an ace guitarist; Nathan Skelton for also being an ace guitarist; James Morton for killing it on the saxophone; the lovely guys at 1Click2Fame; John Ingham for helping me get everything together and sort myself out; Caffe Nero for being awesome and making nice coffee; Louise Birkitt for letting me have way too much time off for my musical endeavours; Emma Stretton, Sarah Perkins and Jen Scoble for being the only reason I got through one year of university; and of course YOU. The supporter of little old me. The people who spent well-earned money on this album. The people who have been there from my very first video upload to YouTube. Youre the most important people in this and Ill never ever ever be able to thank you enough. Ever. Its actually quite frustrating. I hope to meet as many of you as I possibly can to give you the thanks you deserve. Thank you
