“Katya Redpath proves she’s an artist without borders. Her voice is steady, her writing confident, and her perspective refreshingly wide. Whether she’s playing a Texas roadhouse or a coastal café half a world away, her music speaks a universal language: connection.”
— Skope Magazine
“In an age where most artists are trying to fit into playlists, Katya Redpath is building her own map…What defines Redpath isn’t a particular sound, but a perspective. You can feel her curiosity in the lyrics, her restlessness in the melodies, and her confidence in the silences between them. She writes like someone who’s lived through a hundred different sunsets and learned something new from each one.”
— Hollywood Vue
“Redpath’s ‘Time Changes Everything’ is an incredibly powerful debut album from a fully realized artist.
I’ve been producing and recording artists in NYC and Austin for over 30 years and every once in a while I meet a truly unique artist with the vision to manifest what their imagination has gifted them.
Katya is one of those rare people.
I’m privileged to have worked with her.”

Redpath balances curiosity with craft. She writes from a life spent between borders, turning experience into melody and distance into rhythm. In her hands, music isn't just sound, it's geography, emotion, and memory, bound together by joy.
— Indie Strong
“Katya Redpath’s debut album is soul-stirring and beautifully recorded. Her optimism uplifts without denying complexity, and her lyrics are as poetic as they are resonant. Her voice, so pretty and clear, shines especially on "Put it in a Song."
This record gives warmth and light long after the last note..”

“Katya Redpath isn’t chasing genre — she’s creating geography. Her art lives where emotion meets melody, where stories find rhythm, and where every song becomes a destination in itself. She doesn’t just sing about the world — she sounds like it.
Katya Redpath’s music is more than a playlist — it’s an experience. Each song carries the pulse of a different horizon, weaving Americana roots with Latin spirit and global rhythm. Whether you’re listening from a quiet room or a crowded train, her voice finds a way to reach you.”

Bio
I was born in Washington, DC, lived in Argentina for my first three years, then grew up in Great Falls, Virginia.
Long ago I internalized the feeling that music creates a sort of time capsule that can transport us to other worlds and dimensions. I learned this by going deeply inside pieces of music from different eras and cultures, conjuring their origin-space as I performed them. I now believe music can do even more than that - it can usher in new realities.
As the late Fela Kuti said,
“Music is the weapon of the future.”
Although I’ve performed hundreds of songs over the years, I began writing and recording original music for the first time only recently, in Austin Texas.
