Catty (Caitlin Stokes) is a Welsh-born, London-based artist who has emerged as a significant voice in the 2020s alt-pop landscape. Originally one half of the duo Catty & Ella, her solo trajectory has seen her lean into a more aggressive, synth-driven aesthetic that merges the melodic sensibilities of 2000s British girl groups with the dark, electronic textures of modern alternative pop.
Her work is characterized by a high-gloss production style that belies deeply vulnerable, often confrontational lyrical themes regarding queer heartbreak and self-actualization. Critically, she is noted for her ability to bridge the gap between mainstream pop accessibility and indie-rock grit, a balance that has earned her a dedicated following within the 'sad girl' and 'alt-pop' internet subcultures. Her 2024 project 'Healing Out of Spite' solidified her sound identity, focusing on high-energy, cathartic anthems that utilize heavy synth layering and dynamic vocal arrangements. She occupies a similar cultural space to artists like Fletcher or MUNA, prioritizing authentic queer narratives within a polished, radio-ready sonic framework.
