Katerina Nicole Processes Grief on "Ladybug", Anger on "Black on White", and Talks Concert Booking
In 2025, we brought you Katerina Nicole, an artist who started in the Pop and EDM world around 2022, and then pivoted to the heavy music space because it was a musical direction that she needed to take. It led her to working with her producer to introduce us to her sound and voice on the debut EP "Serene in Violent Oceans."
A year and a half has gone by, and you may not remember her or have been wondering what she is up to. Wondering what direction her music has taken over that time, and where you can find her live. Well, we wanted those answers too.
Katerina Nicole returns to the Chord Progression Podcast with the releases of her recent singles "Ladybug" and "Black on White" released now. Join us and catch up with Katerina as we talk about:
- How she processed grief on the song "Ladybug" and how the more upbeat juxtaposition of the song's melody helps us process the attempts to save a life.
- What Katerina has been up to since the release of "Serene in Violent Oceans" by taking the risks of writing the next batch of songs without outside help in order to discover new, & expand on current heavier sounds she connects with.
- The struggle artists that do not fit into a specific genre or subgenera have with booking live shows over in Eurpoe.
