cathy kio

Smashing stereotypes and breaking boundaries; one indie pop song at a time. cathy kio is black, talented and has something important to say.

Fusing a creative blend of indie, rock and pop, cathy perfects the art of a rhythmic but dreamy sound. Sending you deep into thought, her lyrics tease the boundary of spoken word; with almost every line holding hidden weight and meaning.

As one of the few black female artists on the indie scene, cathy hopes to bring a refreshing sense of culture and diversity to a saturated environment. After a lifetime of being told who to be, cathy is even more proud to express her most authentic self: Queer, black, female and never looked so good!

Over the last 3 years, cathy has gained a substantial amount of recognition and support in the Leeds music scene. With London, Sheffield and Portsmouth also under her belt, she hopes to take on new cities and new adventures with her band!
