Field Cate

Field Cate is a Los Angeles based singer and songwriter stepping into a new era with a solo project that puts emotion at the center and leaves genre as an afterthought. After more than 8 years fronting the rock band Fencer, releasing multiple albums, accruing over 2 million streams, and doing multiple nation wide tours supporting bands like Badflower, Dead Poet Society, and The Wrecks, Cate now moves forward under his own name with a sound that shifts between alternative, pop, r&b, and heavier modern rock depending on what the song demands. His debut single “Cauterizer” introduces that range with a raw, intense edge, paired with a surreal horror music video that reflects the weight behind it. A defining part of his artistry comes from synesthesia, experiencing music as color, with each song living in its own palette while blue remains at the core of his world. His writing leans heavily into mental health, emotional instability, and extremes of feeling, shaped in part by living with BPD and constant underlying anxiety that fuels both his lyrics and performances. Before music took over, Cate spent over a decade as an actor beginning at age five, with his most notable role as a series regular on Pushing Daisies. Now working alongside acclaimed producers Anthony J. Resta & Greg Ansin, he is building a debut EP that moves from stripped back vulnerability to explosive, guitar driven moments, all rooted in a commitment to honesty and connection over perfection.
