Kate Bush is a true musical maverick who redefined what a female pop artist could be. Signing with EMI at age 16 after being discovered by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, she became the first woman to have a self-written UK number one hit with 'Wuthering Heights.' Bush was an early adopter of music technology, being one of the first artists to use a Fairlight CMI synthesizer to create complex, otherworldly soundscapes. Her 1985 album 'Hounds of Love' is a masterpiece of art-pop, featuring the 'Ninth Wave' song cycle on its second side. She was also a pioneer of music video as an art form and the first performer to use a wireless headset microphone, allowing her to dance while singing. Known for her reclusive nature, her music saw a massive global resurgence in 2022 when 'Running Up That Hill' was featured in 'Stranger Things.'
