“Carve out a little piece of space and time,
Come and tell me what’s been on your mind”
Space & Time
Katya Redpath is a storyteller, composer, performer, and recording artist.
Her debut album is coming out this year.
Katya fuses folk, roots-rock, and a lifetime of world influences into vibrant songs which feel uplifting, thoughtful, and maybe a little subversive.
With a rich contralto voice, Katya is equally at home in layered sonic landscapes as solo with her guitar or piano.
What People Are Saying
Katya’s songwriting is so versatile and melodic - it brings to mind the wonderful, eclectic music of the 60’s and 70’s. It’s clear and clean. And there’s often a message. Kind of like turning on the radio in 1973.

“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..”

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 is 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.
Although I’ve played hundreds of songs over the years, I started writing and recording original music for the first time relatively late in life, in Austin Texas.
