Australia-based, Canadian-born singer-songwriter and producer Garrett Kato has today released his refreshing new single ‘Permanently’.
Premiered on Triple J on July 23, ‘Permanently’ hints at a sonic evolution for Garrett with glimmers of lo-fi RnB threaded throughout his signature song writing rooted in folk. Itwas self-written, recorded, produced and mixed at Garrett’s home studio in Byron Bay. The song is available everywhere today via Nettwerk Music.
Garrett says the production was “inspired by a wide range of artists from Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’ to Ryan Adams ‘Heartbreaker’. It has melodies that float between Folk and Lo fi RnB.”
“I was on tour in Europe for the first time with Canadian friends ‘Jon & Roy’ and we had a tour manager JP who was from Berlin driving the bus. JP loved underground Berlin Deep House music and played it most of the tour. After some time I really liked the hypnotic beats and melodies that were used, so I used a type of Lo-Fi feel to inspire the sonic landscape of ‘Permanently’.”
Garrett’s upcoming EP ‘n. hemisphere’ is the follow-up to his March release ‘s. hemisphere’, featuring hits ‘Breathe It In’ Feat. Julia Stone’ and ‘Holding on To You’. ‘s. hemisphere’ embodies songs inspired by Garrett’s time living in Australia, while the upcoming EP ‘n. hemisphere’ features songs inspired by his life growing up in Canada.
Garrett recently announced an upcoming UK and Europe tour with Pierce Brothers in Jan / Feb 2021. The news comes following Garrett signing with London based Paul Boswell at Free Trade Agency earlier in 2020. You can find all the dates at his website HERE.
Garrett had a huge 2019 playing sold-out shows with folk singer-songwriter Damien Rice, his first co-headline tour of Europe / UK with Riley Pearce and a tour of the North America with household name Ziggy Alberts.
Garrett is a platinum award winning producer, working with a string of Aussie indie-folk icons including Ziggy Alberts, Kyle Lionheart, Pete Murray, Riley Pearce and Pierce Brothers.
Born in Canada, Byron Bay local Garrett Kato moved to Australia after spontaneously quitting his day job to pursue his passion for music. After busking and performing five gigs a week, Garrett is now having his songs synced with box office hits in the US like ‘Bad Moms’, touring nationally and internationally, all the while running his own recording studio.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
