Catherine Bush (born 30 July 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, dancer and record producer. She is known for her eclectic style, unconventional lyrics and innovative dance‑based performances. Her sound and choreography have influenced a wide range of artists. Bush began writing songs at age 11. She was signed to EMI Records after David Gilmour of Pink Floyd helped finance a demo tape. In 1978, at 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single “Wuthering Heights”, becoming the first female artist to reach number one in the UK with a fully self‑written song. Her debut studio album, The Kick Inside (1978), reached number three on the UK Albums Chart. Bush was the first British solo female artist to top the UK Albums Chart and the first woman to enter it at number one. All nine of her studio albums have reached the UK top 10, including the number‑one albums Never for Ever (1980) and Hounds of Love (1985), as well as the greatest‑hits collection The Whole Story (1986). Since The Dreaming (1982), she has produced all of her studio albums. She took a long hiatus between The Red Shoes (1993) and Aerial (2005). Her most recent albums, Director’s Cut and 50 Words for Snow, were both released in 2011. Bush has released 25 UK top‑40 singles, including the top‑10 hits “The Man with the Child in His Eyes” (1978), “Babooshka” (1980), “Running Up That Hill” (1985), “Don’t Give Up” (a 1986 duet with Peter Gabriel) and “King of the Mountain” (2005).
