Chan Marshall ( Charlyn Marie Marshall ) was born January 21, 1972), known by her stage name Cat Power
Cat Power was originally the name of Marshall's first band, but has become her stage name as a solo artist.
She began performing in local bands in Atlanta in the early 1990s. She was discovered opening for Liz Phair in 1993 by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar, with whom she recorded her first two albums. In 1996, she signed with Matador Records, and released a third album of new material with Shelley and Foljahn, What Would the Community Think. Following this, she released the critically acclaimed Moon Pix (1998), recorded with members of Dirty Three, and The Covers Record (2000), a collection of sparsely arranged cover songs.
In 2012 she released the self-produced Sun, which debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200, the highest charting album of her career to date.
In 2018 she changed record label to Domino and released the album, Wanderer, which featured Lana del Rey on the song "Woman"
