Thought I’d do a proper introduction. I am a mother of four from Finland who decided to apply to be a part of our company’s Kilimanjaro challenge to raise money for Unicef and climb Kilimanjaro in February 2020. Luckily I was chosen and you can read more about my journey to Kili and back under category Kilimanjaro.
Back to the “about me” section… So I have four children eldest is already taller than me (a lot) and youngest is going to school here in Finland . The youngest was born in Australia, QLD meaning I have also lived there for 5 years. Been back in Finland for a while now, but I will miss Australia always. I keep dreaming about it on a regular basis and hope to one day be able to visit my other home country again.
“Serious amateur” singer
I have always loved singing, even when I was younger I kept singing all the time, everywhere. Now my eldest daughter does the same and we have agreed that there is no singing after 8:30 pm (little one needs her sleep). She is having hard time trying to stick to that, but I totally understand her!
Currently I sing in a choir called Kallion Kantaattikuoro you can check more from here. I have also done many years of gospel choir singing and solo singing, mostly jazz standards. Jazz, Bossanova/Nujazz are closest to my heart and of course my all time favorite Stevie Wonder. Have been lucky enough to see him live in concert three times; once in Australia and twice in Finland. My voice can be heard on my Soundcloud account and other music projects can be found under my Singing page..
I am always interested in new opportunities and challenges so do contact me if you need a high soprano or just a jazzy classy singer even on short notice. I am able read sheet music, am a quick learner and… oh, did I mention I love to sing… anything, anytime, anywhere!
I do play the piano also and desperately try to practice accompanying myself when I sing, but time is tight so have had to prioritize. Hence I never take my guitar out either. But maybe one day… just like my grandfathers violin is waiting for me to learn to play the violin again which I will do… one day!
Strike a pose
I have always loved clothes, dressing up, color play and fashion. When I was younger I used to do modelling and now after children I decided to start again and took a modelling course in 2019 and been working in the field ever since. Due to my height (179 cm) fashion shows and editorials are a specialty and have experience in videos, movies, but naturally will do any modelling gigs. Portfolio photos and more about my experience can been seen under modelling page and booking can be made by contacting me directly kati (at) elyqi.fi or through https://www.fashionmodel.fi/adults/kati-k if you prefer agency. There is no exclusivity so either way is fine.
