Katie Phelan

Katie has featured as the face of Spotify’s ‘Fresh Finds: UK and Ireland’ and ‘A Breath of Fresh Éire’ playlist and gained support from Spotify’s ‘Our Generation’, ‘New Music Friday UK’, ‘Pumpkin Spice’ and more. Katie’s signature sound is one of beautifully delicate vocals, warm acoustic guitar tones and charming lofi samples.
