In 2013, the celebrity blogger praised her indie electronica style. Speaking about one of her singles, he said: "Take Demi Lovato add some British coolness, some Madonna Frozen, some Laura Mvula and a whole lot of drum n bass awesomeness and you have Cruel Melody by Cat Cavelli!"Last autumn Catherine moved into a home near the Hollywood star in the exclusive Hampstead area of London. Since then the pretty brunette has been busy homemaking, cooking, cuddling up with her dogs and of course writing songs.
In January she celebrated her pregnancy by having a pink-themed baby shower with a group of girlfriends.
