Katy B is the UK’s most highly anticipated and newest pop-protégé; combining the lyricism of Lily Allen & Kate Nash with an explosively powerful voice (à la Adele).
A graduate of the UK’s renowned BRIT school – Katy has written all the songs on the album was fully involved in the creative process; the result is a 12-track mix of pop hooks, underground beats, and a lyrical glance at real life that’s both reflectively soulful and hedonistically carefree.
Her first single Lights On spent a massive 10 weeks above in the Top 10 singles chart and she has over 21 million combined hits on YouTube to date.
Katy got her first break at the tender age of 17 after using the schools studio to get some demos made. DJ NG and an MC called Versatile hooked up with Katy on Tell Me, one of the first and most enduringly popular UK funky house anthems.
Geeneus (producer / DJ & co-owner of the legendary Rinse FM) got in touch; ‘As soon as I heard her I knew there was something about her voice.’
Him and his compadre Zinc immediately fell in love with ‘the voice’, lyrics and melody lines. It became increasingly obvious that their worlds were destined to merge musically and work on Katy’s debut. ‘It just seemed natural. Geeneus and Zinc were providing the best tracks and I loved working with them.’
