Voegele began gaining interest from record labels and management companies after recording a series of demos. The first demo "The Other Side" (released in 2003) was produced by multi-platinum, award winning producer Michael Seifert. Her second demo "Louder Than Words" (released in 2004) was produced by Marshall Altman. Kate signed a record deal with Myspace Records in 2006 and released her debut album "Don't Look Away" (produced by Marshall Altman) in May of 2007.
Kate Voegele recently began a recurring guest spot in six episodes of The CW television series "One Tree Hill" on Tuesday, January 22, 2008. Voegele plays Mia, a young singer and keyboardist for a rock band fronted by Jason (Kevin Federline). After Peyton (Hilarie Burton) signs the band to her upstart record label and becomes increasingly frustrated with Jason's attitude, she eventually drops him and the rest of the band, but retains Mia as a developing new artist at the insistence of Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), who is somewhat well-versed in the music industry as well. Mia performs songs on the series from Voegele's real-life debut album "Don't Look Away" including "Kindly Unspoken" in her very first episode.
Kate Voegele performed several songs from her debut album "Don't Look Away" on the The Early Show, Saturday, February 2, 2008 on CBS television network nationally. Kate's band member Sam provided backup vocals and beat box support while Mark played the bass guitar.
In the spring, Kate embarked on a world-wind tour, opening up for the rock band Hanson on their 2008 Walk Tour and gaining a reputation in the music business that will surely be worth remembering.

Devil in Me
Kate Voegele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?
You took me from granted,
Blended thorns in this garden of mine
What are the chances my hope has died?
Didn't have mercy
You unnerved me
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your part
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
No don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me
Thinking it over
Those were days dark as ebony nights
The end of October seemed like a life time
I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a lie
You had a mission
To prove me right
You took my trust
Ground it to dust
Found out I know better yea yeah
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your part
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
No don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me
And I don't wanna feel the pain
And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain
You're entirely a pain
And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation I've known over time
I don't ever care that there is
No charity in your heart
Could you spare me, I've done my part? Yeah
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your part
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
No don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your part
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
No don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me

Far in the distance
Reflecting back on a time that seems distant and far away
This is the view from the other side
Looking at a situation from a new perspective
How did I let this pass me by?
Regretting missed opportunities
You took me from granted,
Feeling unappreciated in a relationship
Blended thorns in this garden of mine
Introducing negativity and pain into one's previously happy life
What are the chances my hope has died?
Feeling hopeless about the future
Didn't have mercy
Not being treated kindly or with compassion
You unnerved me
Feeling uneasy or disturbed by someone's actions
I don't deserve this pain, no
Feeling like unjustified pain and suffering is being inflicted
So don't break my heart
Pleading to not cause further emotional pain
I ain't never done
Insisting that no wrongdoing has been committed
Nothing to deserve this
Believing that the suffering is unwarranted
I'm torn apart
Feeling hurt and devastated by someone's actions
You've had your part
Acknowledging someone's negative role in the situation
Do you suppose I earned it?
Questioning whether or not the pain is deserved
Do you not see
Expressing frustration that someone is not understanding the pain being caused
How I'm begging on my knees?
Pleading for mercy and compassion
No don't speak, don't breathe,
Wanting a break from the negative person's presence
You bring out the Devil in me
Recognizing that someone's negative influence is causing oneself to act in uncharacteristic ways
Thinking it over
Reflecting on past events
Those were days dark as ebony nights
Recalling a time of intense darkness and despair
The end of October seemed like a life time
Feeling like time has slowed down and events in the past seem distant and far away
I had a suspicion
Having a feeling that something was wrong
But didn't want to believe you a lie
Not wanting to accept that someone was being dishonest
You had a mission
Realizing that someone had a purpose behind their actions
To prove me right
Trying to confirm one's suspicions
You took my trust
Betraying one's trust
Ground it to dust
Destroying the foundation of trust that was built
Found out I know better yea yeah
Realizing that one can no longer be fooled
And I don't wanna feel the pain
Expressing a desire to not experience emotional pain
And I don't want another day
Not wanting to face another day of suffering
Shackled to your ball and chain
Feeling trapped in a negative relationship
You're entirely a pain
Describing someone as a constant source of emotional pain
And I'm so tired of explaining
Feeling exhausted from trying to justify one's actions or feelings
The sensation I've known over time
Referencing the ongoing experience of emotional pain
I don't ever care that there is
Expressing that someone's lack of compassion is not important anymore
No charity in your heart
Acknowledging someone's cold and unfeeling nature
Could you spare me, I've done my part? Yeah
Asking someone to stop causing pain because they have already caused enough damage
