The album features Katie and some of her favourite female artists interpreting the songs that influenced their lives with 100% of profits from the album go to Cancer Council's Pink Ribbon. [1]

The album grew from a successful tour in 2013, into a full-length album followed by an extensive national tour throughout October and November 2014. [2]

Background and release

"The initial idea for Songs That Made Me came from the desire to share the stage with other women and, to make it an exclusively female thing, because it's very rare, it doesn't happen often," Noonan says.

Noonan lead the way for the album's eclectic song choices which include covering Radiohead, The Pretenders and Fleetwood Mac. The only guide Noonan gave the musicians was to choose a song that "made them". "It could be a song you saw at your first gig or sang at your first gig, or the track you practised your routines to in your bedroom," Noonan says. Noonan envisages more of these groups, tours and albums and has even drawn up a wishlist of about 80 more female artists she wants to include in the next one. Ultimately, for Noonan, it's about creating that support and fostering female relationships - as musicians and in the industry. [3]
