KATHLEEN

Short Bio

2020

Born on an island in Washington and raised in the Rocky Mountains by a park ranger turned physician’s assistant and a doctor, alongside a sister who is studying evolutionary biology, Kathleen finds her foremost inspiration in nature. From the age of seven, when she began writing songs, she found herself directly engaged with the world around her—its maximalism in the mountain landscapes of Colorado and its minutiae, the pattern of leaves as a vine climbs a wall or the insects living in a fallen log. She grew up ski racing but was always more interested in the great silence of the snow beneath the chairlifts and the total freedom inside the forests of the back bowls over competitions or techniques. Her work investigates these natural extremes and how they apply to our everyday lives— “I want you to cry in public,” she says of its intended effect.

In May of 2020, Kathleen made her Warner Records debut with the Kathleen I EP, which features her debut single, “The Longest Year,” as well as three other tracks “Asking the Aspens,” “Half My Mind Ago” and “Seven Miles.” Then in October of 2020, Kathleen shared her follow up EP, Kathleen II, featuring “Can’t Sleep,” “August,” “Dark Side of the Moon” and “Glass Piano.” Dan Nigro, who produced and co-wrote “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo, co-wrote “Can’t Sleep” and “Asking the Aspens” and co-produced “Half My Mind Ago” by Kathleen.

HIGHLIGHTS

OVER 6.5M AUDIO & VIDEO STREAMS"A sweeping, grandiose showcase of inner upheaval blending the folk and pop worlds, Kathleen’s stirring

sophomore EP is a dynamic, dramatic outpouring of catchy songs and intensely vulnerable energy."-ATWOOD

"While she retains the soulful songwriting that formed the basis of her first EP, Kathleen also takes on some more ambitious range with her follow up. Each song has a distinct character to it which brings a unique focus to each

track. Taken together, Kathleen’s 2020 debut EPs show an impressive amount of adventurousness, setting a wide open stage for her next effort."

-UNDER THE RADER

“Her storytelling on Kathleen II is brutally honest... Overall, Kathleen II is all that we hoped it to be — cathartic, joyous and the EP to make you dance.”
