After studying at a classical Conservatory of Music, this Northern California native packed her heart and soul and everything else she owned into a truck bound for Los Angeles and the freedom it offered. Kacee wrote, produced, and released her debut CD, SEEING RED, in 1996. Shortly after, her career branched out into modeling, acting, and commercial work as a singer, writer and producer.
In the summer of 2001, Kacee was cast in the role of a lifetime: playing the lead in Off-Broadway's "LOVE, JANIS", an extreme rock musical about the life and music of legendary singer Janis Joplin. Over the last decade, she has performed this role in various cities, including San Diego, Kansas City and Rochester. In early 2002, she was asked to join BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING CO., Joplin's original San Francisco-based band, as their lead vocalist. She continues in both of these capacities as time permits.
2005 once again brought amazing change for Kacee. She joined forces with rock icon JOE COCKER as a background singer on his Heart & Soul world tour. In early 2008, she completed a second world tour to support his CD release, "Hymn For My Soul."
Kacee's sophomore recording effort, MAMA CAME TO SING, released in 2005, had to be squeezed into the gaps and seams of a busy touring life, but delivers the raw vocals and powerful lyrics which are the cornerstones of Kacee’s success as a singer/songwriter.
Kacee joined the faculty of the Los Angeles Music Academy (LAMA) in 2008 as a vocal and performance instructor. She continues teaching classes, workshops and private lessons as her schedule permits.
In the summer of 2008, Kacee began singing behind the incomparable LUIS MIGUEL on his "Complices" tour. She remains a part of this amazing ensemble and is in the midst of the "Labios de Miel" 2010/2011 Tour.
