Kat Bryan
Kat Bryan is a Canadian Gothic Electro-pop singer-songwriter and producer. Her distinctly dark vibe is inspired by innovative artists like Nils Frahm, Sigur Ros, and Imogen Heap as well as 90s trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack and Portishead. Kat blends warm and soulful roots found in a love of classic jazz with vibrant and lush electronic instrumentation to skirt the edge of both electronic and pop genres. Born and raised in Vancouver, Kat has training in guitar, piano and voice, and has taught herself to record and produce music developing an identifiable, beautifully dark sound. Her debut album, released on UK-based indie label AnalogueTrash, has been called a “gothic Bond theme”, “haunting” and an “unusual electronic music project that certainly invites the listener to expand their musical boundaries” and was nominated for “Best International Female Artist” in 2022 by a UK-based radio station.
