About Wylde Voices
Wylde Voices is more than a voice studio—it’s a space where you can safely explore, grow, and reconnect with the pure essence of your voice. I combine holistic practices with with traditional voice training to help you shed layers of fear, release tension, and uncover your authentic voice within. My approach is rooted in the idea of “rewilding”—a return to the natural, powerful, and ancestral voice that is undeniably you.
Why Rewild Your Voice?
In a word that often quits or confines us, finding and embracing our voice can feel like a radical act. Rewilding your voice isn’t about perfection or fitting a mold; it’s about rediscovering your true sound, trusting it, and sharing it without hesitation. When you rewild, you reclaim your strength, authenticity, and ability to connect deeply with yourself and others.
Holistic Piano & Music Theory:
I teach piano and music theory with a holistic approach rooted in my own journey. As a young classical pianist, I quit due to self-doubt and perfectionism. When I returned, I was frozen by comparison to others and my younger self. The only way I could move forward was to bring joy, love, and play back into my practice. Now, I help students learn not through pressure, but through play, exploration, and connection. Whether you’re a vocalist wanting to deepen your musicianship, or someone rekindling a love for piano, I’ll help you reconnect with music in a joyful and playful way.
“I have dedicated my life to finding my true, authentic voice and now I help others find theirs. I believe it is your birthright to sing and to share your voice with the world.”
About Me
Hi! I'm Kat Martin, the founder of Wylde Voices. Nature and music have always been my greatest loves. As a child, I sang freely until bullying silenced me. After two traumatizing performance experiences, I came to believe that I simple couldn’t sing—and that it was better if no one ever heard me try. Years later, a supportive college teacher reignited my passion for singing, giving me the courage to pursue a Masters Degree in Classical Vocal Performance.
But my journey wasn’t without struggle—I faced vocal cord polyps, chronic tension, fatigue, muscular tension disfonia, and crippling stage fright. Despite working with top vocal specialists, renowned teachers, and attending countless workshops and study programs, I couldn’t break through and almost quit music altogether in 2019.
Thankfully, that same year, I discovered The Naked Voice, a book written by Chloe Goodchild, that opened my eyes to the emotional and spiritual aspects of singing. Through a more holistic approach, I was finally able to heal my voice, regulate my nervous system, overcome my stage fright, and become the singer and performer of my dreams.
Today, I empower my students with the same comprehensive approach. By combining strategic vocal technique with mindfulness, breath and somatic practices, I guide others to deeply connect with their authentic voice and unleash its full potential.
Credentials & Training
I hold a B.A. in Entrepreneurship and a Minor in Music Education from the University of Southern California. After College I pursued a Masters in Classical Vocal Performance and trained as an opera singer for 10 years. In 2018, I transitioned into a crossover artist, launching my career as a jazz and lounge singer. I’ve had the privilege of studying with some of the best voice teachers in the world, many affiliated with both LA Opera and the Metropolitan Opera.
I began teaching voice and piano in 2019 at a local music studio and founded my own studio, Wylde Voices, in 2020. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of people achieve their vocal and musical dreams. I’ve also spoken and taught at numerous events, schools, and retreats. Helping others realize their musical potential is my greatest passion.
