Holy Wars is a band that is as diverse as it is determined. That is ever more evident in this exclusive interview with Holy Wars’ frontwoman Kat Leon. Kat survives by thriving from her life and putting into her craft. That is a talent I wish everyone had. We would be in a much better world, I think.
And what we learn in this interview is how the music of Holy Wars, as well as Kat’s solo work, are part of an anthology of life. Some of it is dark, some of it light, but all of it real. And what we get in the end is a life in progress. We are all in our own personal holy war, whatever that may be, and what we get through Kat’s voice and the music of her and collaborator Nicolas Perez is a reflection of progression through originality and creativity. This is the very definition of what music is, or at least what it is at its best.

Pete also had a stint at band management, working with David Arden (son of Don Arden and brother of Sharon Osbourne) David was an integral part of the Don Arden management team and Jet Records in the 60’s and 70’s and Pete learned a lot from David.

Pete later became a member of The Kooks. Jules & Pete, began performing together in 2019 in bars (including “Hard Rock Cafe”) and hotels all over the east of Cyprus. Back in the summer of 2020, whilst performing, they were approached by the musical instrument manufacturer “Roland/Boss” and offered an Artist Sponsorship Agreement, which in turn led to the addition of some incredible new sound equipment for the duo courtesy of Roland/Boss.
