The mystery of Fatty Gets A Stylist has been revealed. It is Kate Miller-Heidke and her husband Keir Nutall.
After Kate and Keir recorded and named their side-project Fatty Gets A Stylist the original idea was to not reveal her identify at all. “We were kind of having a bit of fun under the guise of releasing it with anonymity because it sounds so unlike any of my own stuff and we were kind of having a bit of fun playing it to the band in the Tarago on tour and telling them that it was a band we met in London,” Kate tells Undercover.fm. “It was such a great way to get completely honest feedback because when you play your stuff to other people they feel they have to be polite about it and you can never tell whether they really like it or not. We didn’t tell anyone it was me and we were having fun with that concept and started to get messy so I came out of the fatty closet”.
They had been working on the music for the past year and a half. “Its been brewing for a year and a half but we only decided to release it two months ago,” Keir says. “We toyed with the idea and releasing it and then decided not to so it wasn’t going to happen. Then on a long drive in America we felt sad that it wasn’t going to be released so we decided to release it”.
