Catherine Laverne Starks was born in Dougherty, Oklahoma to Annie and Harry Starks. Her mother's ancestors were Irish-American while her father was a Native American Iroquois. She would later claim to be both Cherokee and Choctaw descent. At age three, the Starks family moved to Dallas, Texas where her father obtained a job installing building sprinklers. Her mother raised chickens to support the family as well. Catherine began singing during early childhood, often performing to the chickens that her mother was raising. She sang frequently around the house which caught the attention of her aunt, with whose help she took part in a local talent contest and won at age seven.

Young Catherine continued to enter talent contests and eventually landed a spot performing on Dallas's WRR radio station. She performed two times a week and earned three dollars a performance. The Starks family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when she was 15 and was given her own "Starr Segment" on Memphis's WREC station. Due to many people incorrectly saying her last name, she adapted the stage name of "Kay Starr". During high school, she worked with various country music bands. She was discovered by Jazz violinist Joe Venuti who had obtained a contract to perform at the Peabody Hotel in the summer of 1937. Starr's parents accepted the performance opportunity as long as she was home by their midnight curfew. Venuti did not tell the hotel her real age and fibbed about Starr's mother being her sister. For the next two summers, Starr performed alongside Venuti. Read even more about Kay Starr at Wikipedia
