“Known for her soulful sound, she emulates the styles of our current favorite artists but, unlike them, avoids too much production on her songs to make her voice shine on each and every track.” – Viva Glam Magazine

“‘Comfortable’ is about being in a long-term relationship and getting to a point where you don’t really know if you are still “in love,” or if it is just being comfortable that keeps you together. It’s about trying to keep that spark alive when it’s covered up by familiarity. This song is important to me because I’ve been in this situation, as I know many people in long-term relationships have been at one point or another. I hope people will relate to the song and realize that we all go through similar experiences.”– Emily Katter
Emily Katter is a singer-songwriter with a soulful alternative-pop sound. Her particular brand of pop merges her love of folk/rock music from the 60’s and 70’s to the female powerhouse vocalists of the 90’s. Her debut EP‘Shining Now’ was produced by ROBOPOP’s Dan “Omelio, who co-wrote and produced Maroon 5’s chart-topping “Payphone,” Gym Class Heroes’ hits “Stereo Hearts” and “Ass Back Home,” and produced Lana Del Ray’s“Videogames.” As with many of Omelio’s hits, Emily’s music resonates with touches of soul, dance, and R&B. Based in New York City, Emily has a vocal and music industry background, and with the help of coaches likeGordon Grody (who’s worked with Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys), she’s crafted the sweet and infectious style she records today. Emily also has a publishing deal in place with Fieldhouse Music, part of BMG Chrysalis. Her curly hair, inquisitive personality and strong voice create a full package as a pop artist.
