Kat Cunning
Theatrical art-pop that moves with the grace of a dancer. Lush, cinematic arrangements and breathy, soulful vocals for late nights and deep reflection.

Kat Cunning (Katrina Cunningham) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work seamlessly integrates music, dance, and acting. Their sound identity is rooted in 'Baroque Pop' and 'Art Pop,' characterized by sophisticated arrangements that often feature strings and piano alongside modern electronic production.
Having performed in high-profile theatrical productions like 'Sleep No More' and 'Paramour,' Cunning brings a narrative and performative depth to their songwriting that is rare in contemporary pop. Their career arc moved from the New York arts scene to broader recognition through recurring roles in HBO's 'The Deuce' and Netflix's 'Trinkets,' where they often portrayed musical characters, further blurring the line between their acting and recording personas. Critically, they are noted for their ability to convey complex queer identity and emotional intimacy through a cinematic lens. Their influence web includes the dramatic flair of Florence + The Machine and the moody, synth-driven textures of artists like VÉRITÉ or Winona Oak. Cunning represents a modern archetype of the 'total artist,' where the visual, physical, and sonic elements are inseparable.
