Bio:

Dedicating myself to my life long dream, I decided to put work on hold, to write and compose full-time, just 4 years ago. In that time I have pushed forward and achieved some great accomplishments as an independent artist that I would like to share with you. I am Kitana Mahoney:

Most recently just finished a collaboration on a ballad with a well known Hollywood Producer, under his pen name, Yehuda Naftali.

Released my first independent album 'Sketches 0f The Heart' and had it nominated and reached the Top 3 for Independent Album Of The Year at the 2004 'Sunni Awards' in Queensland.

Filmed my 'first' music video independently, on Location overseas in 'Bali' for the remixed version of my song 'Forever Precious', as a dedication to those that were touched by the Bali bombings of 2002 and took 2 years to complete. Receiving great support and interest from Bali media, while on location in December of 2003, appearing in all major newspapers, Bali TV and 4 online Bali websites. Once home, having major TV network station, Channel Seven Broadcast Centre Qld, edit the finished video.

Appeared and performed Live at local, interstate and international venues.

Collaborated and completed projects with producers, artists and musicians in Australia, California, New York, Illinois, New Mexico, Scotland and England.

Collaboration, with 8-Bit Hitmen, 'Supernatural Bliss' sat at #1 for 11 weeks on New Mexico's premier electronic site in 2004

Had "Supernatural Bliss" accepted for the dance compilation album "Oscillation 2004" In America.

Had my debut Dance track, "4th Look" (self produced on my home PC) reach #1 in New Mexico MP3 Charts.

Had my contemporary country-pop song "Daddies Little Girl" at Australia's premier music site MP3.com.au reach #1 for 2 weeks.

Learnt HTML and created my own website with a friend that I use more as a journal of my personal experiences and achievements within the music industry, which currently has over 16 thousand hits on it. 

Sold Copies of my album "Sketches Of The Heart", available only on my website, throughout, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, South America, Japan, The Caribbean, America, New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Poland, China, India, Thailand, France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Mexico and Spain.

I lend my writing skills and singing voice part-time to a recording studio for advertising campaigns, jingles and incidental music that are aired on radio and TV both locally and nationally, which I see as a great way to experiment with hooks and melody project writing to a deadline, while I wait for my' Yes!'

Written many styles of genre's, as a solo acoustic artist, I mostly define my originals as 'Adult Alternative'. Having many compositions, that grow daily, I love to collaborate and find the process of writing a real passion.

The Internet has played such an amazing part of my success to date, giving indie artist's the forum to share their talents with the world, that normally might never get heard!. If it wasn't for that forum, I know I would definitely not be where I am today, as even learning the guitar for me was a 4 hour a day dedication via a guitar teacher's site. Needless to say I am a BIG advocate for Internet based promotion.

I love to hear my music grow when produced, but also feel it is just as important that a song stands alone and can be presented acoustically or unplugged and still have the same feel and emotion. At the end of the day... "the song is king".

I believe music has the ability to make us laugh, cry, mourn, rejoice, reflect, enjoy, envy, be humble, feel proud, regret, have thanks, but most importantly I feel music makes us ESCAPE and live in the mood of the artist for 4 minutes. That is a powerful thing!
