Kate Boy

Stockholm’s sleek yet edgy electro-pop clothing Kate Son features vocalist/songwriter Kate Akhurst and maker Markus Dextegen. Originally from Australia, Akhurst started her songwriting profession while still in her teenagers and finished up in LA in the first 2010s, writing music for SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Musical’s Ashley Tisdale and Glee’s Charice, among additional clients. After shifting to Sweden, she fulfilled Dextegen, who was simply one-third from the creation group Rocket Boy (the additional two-thirds, Oskar Sikow Engström and Hampus Nordgren Hemlin, had been also onetime people of Akhurst and Dextegen’s task). Dubbing themselves Kate Boy as a manifestation from the project’s androgynous persona and their egalitarian innovative procedure, Akhurst and Dextegen’s 1st single “North Lamps” — a fittingly frosty little bit of tweaked synth pop — found its way to 2013 via IAMSOUND Information. Other singles made an appearance over another year or two, like the 2014 Fiction Information debut “Personal Control.” Fiction also released Kate Boy’s 1st full-length, One, in 2015; The Remix EP, which presented reworkings from the album’s tracks by Planningtorock, Clarence Clearness, Christian Affluent, and La Fleur, premiered by the end of that yr.
