Biography

Kate Pierson is one of the singers of The B-52's (along with Cindy Wilson and Fred Schneider), and contributed to several works beyond her band, most notabily on Iggy Pop's song Candy and the album Out of Time from R.E.M.. She was a member of the largely unknown japanese group called NiNa, with former Judy and Mary lead singer YUKI and other great artists, but their work was noted most on Japan.

In February 2015, Pierson released her first solo album, Guitars and Microphones, featuring material co-written by Sia. She later released the non-album single "Better Not Sting the Bee", and then she released an April 16, 2016 cover of "Venus" as a single. Side B included "Radio In Bed" written by Kate and her wife Monica Coleman. Both tracks were produced by Jack White. In 2024, she released her second studio album, Radios & Rainbows.
