ARTIST STATEMENT:

Blending humor and authenticity to express the fullness of my true self, I strive to represent Asians and everyone else who’s felt “othered” and to take up space in mainstream music and media.

Hey there! I’m Catherine.

I am a singer, songwriter, music producer, and actress based in New York City by way of Arizona. With over two decades of performing experience, a music degree, and a Broadway national tour under my belt, I bring a wealth of talent and knowledge to my solo music journey.

Known for my sardonic humor and a strong commitment to the bit, I’m also a self-development junkie and a lover of learning. Inspired by powerhouse vocalists of the 90s plus the Y2K sound, my music is a captivating fusion of power and nostalgia.

My debut EP, DESIRES, is special because it’s my first solo project—an independent deep dive into my artistic voice and point of view. Navigating the creative and technical challenges of making this EP taught me one thing: I have full creative control, and I don’t need permission to make creative choices. Success, to me, is getting to evolve publicly in my art, and that’s the plan. You’re watching that unfold right now.

My audience? Mostly feminine and queer folks in their 20s and 30s who love fierce vocals and a beat that bumps. But honestly, if that’s not you, you’re still more than welcome to vibe.

☆ live, laugh maniacally, and love ☆
