Minneapolis-bred, LA-based producer and vocalist, Katy Morley, writes stirring compositions that explore the transient space between joy and melancholy. In Fall 2013, subsisting mostly on native Minnesotan vegetation and a deep wintery sadness, she abandoned academia to follow an irrepressible drive to fuse emotion with sound. In 2015 the resulting recordings, informed by her choral background and a penchant for minimalism, worked their way into the hearts of fans and industry people alike. 2016 found her performing her music to audiences across North America, an experience that impressed upon her the real power of a song to connect with people. Yielding to the influence of her favorite musical artists—Nina Simon, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan—she went back into the studio inspired to use her sound experiments to deeper explore the potential of a song.
