Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio and now based in London, CATLEA is an alt-pop artist whose work centers on honesty, personal growth, and self-empowerment. With over 12 million streams across platforms, a full-length album, multiple singles, and more than 80 live shows—including two tours supporting Betty Boo—they’ve built a steady following for their open, thoughtful songwriting.

Inspired by music’s endless possibilities and the infinite ways to express one’s self beyond words alone, Catlea’s songs are filled with layers of meaning, layers of gorgeous vocals, and layers of complex soundscapes in an eclectic musical spectrum ranging from indiepop to rock and EDM.

Having written, produced, and released fourteen singles and over a million video views on YouTube, Catlea released “Language Barrier” in Spring, 2025. The highly acclaimed, multi-layered tour de force takes the listener on a journey through a shattered relationship. In response to the real-life gaslighting actions of a former partner who betrayed Catlea in an elaborate web of deceit, “Language Barrier” is a cathartic release. Beyond Catlea, for anyone who’s experienced heartbreak “Language Barrier” offers a liberating path to healing and personal empowerment.
