Catt Gravitt (Cathy Lee Gravitt) is an American songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee. In the music business for over 20 years, she signed on as a writer with her current publishing company, Razor and Tie, in 2008. Gravitt has songwriting credits in multiple genres, and was most recently named SESAC's Songwriter of the Year in 2012.
After graduating from Eastern Illinois University with a journalism degree, Gravitt initially set out to be an artist. She was signed to A&M Records in an all-girl pop group in Los Angeles. After the group parted ways she made her way to Nashville where she sparked the attention of producer Garth Fundis (Trisha Yearwood, Don Williams, Sugarland). After being signed to a label development deal, Gravitt began focusing more specifically on her writing career.
A song Gravitt co-wrote about a fire that injured her godson was initially put on hold for an artist in country music, and ended up in the hands of Christian music/gospel artist Natalie Grant. The song, “In Better Hands” became a CCM No.1 single (Gravitt’s first no.1) for Grant, and was nominated for Gospel Music Associations (GMA) Song of the Year and Pop Song of the Year in 2008.
