Catherine Porter

On December 13, 2010, she joined the cast of the Broadway production of Next to Normal as the stand-in for the role of Diana.

In 2001, she appeared on stage with comedian Rich Hall, singing three tracks with his character Otis Lee Crenshaw - a performance released on DVD, VHS and audio CD.

In 2000, she attempted to become the United Kingdom's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest, with two songs shortlisted. Her composition "The Answer" was eliminated in a radio semi-final, but "Crazy" was selected for the TV heats. She failed to win the bid, losing out to Nicki French, who went on to finish 16th at the Eurovision final.

Her first big job was touring with Michael Crawford in The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber, before being asked by Brian May, to join his backing band on an American tour supporting Guns N' Roses. She later retained the role on the UK leg of the tour, and appeared on both the 1993 live album Live At The Brixton Academy and his later 1998 solo record Another World. Porter also sang backing vocals on the 1995 Queen track "Let Me Live".

To date, Porter has released one album of solo material, Something Good, in 2002, and has also worked as a back-up singer for Queen, Tony Hadley, Edwin Starr, Kiki Dee, Paul Rodgers, Sam Moore, Mel B and Chaka Khan.
