Artist, producer, and songwriter KATYA is known for her refreshingly personal solo performances where she combines her soulful vocals, layered guitar and keys with electronic beats, jazz overtones and atmospheric soundscapes, courtesy of numerous triggered effects.

KATYA independently secured a slot on one of Glastonbury’s main stages (Acoustic Stage) for three consecutive years (2023–2025). She’s appeared at numerous major UK festivals, including the Main Stage at Truck Festival, supported Paul Carrack on his 22-date UK tour (including the Royal Albert Hall), and sold out headline shows at Green Note and The Grace in 2025.

KATYA’s EP ‘Spirit Of Your Roots’ – released in April – has been endorsed by BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists, BBC Introducing and Spotify editorials including The Gold List, [untitled] and Fresh Finds.

2026 looks to be a big year as she releases her debut album and collaborates with prominent artists including Jordan Rakei.

KATYA boasts a range of well-respected industry supporters including Paul Cummins (retired co-manager of Dire Straits) who was “mesmerised…from the outset” by KATYA’s music and performance at the Royal Albert Hall; Alison Howe (Executive Producer of Later… with Jools Holland and in charge of Glastonbury for the BBC) who described KATYA as having performed “brilliantly”; Paul Charles (Asgard) who booked her for Glastonbury’s Acoustic Stage two years running and as support for Paul Carrack’s 22-date tour; and Tim de Lisle (Mail on Sunday’s Pop Critic) who included KATYA in his Glastonbury 2024 article:  “…and KATYA (****), who will be named as the Rising Star at next week’s Henley Festival, was charismatic.”

KATYA’s true passion lies in the creation and live performance of her music where she communicates with her audience in an open and honest way, revealing elements of herself through music and conversation that have the power to still and silence a sea of people then bring them to their feet dancing and singing her catchy, uplifting lyrics.
