Kat Duma

Duma tangled out her approach to playing live while touring in a band in 2015, but it wasn’t until her solo debut the following year, opening for Hype Williams’ Inga Copeland, that she began to realize her true artistic vision. She has since shared the stage with other genre-defying artists such as Yves Tumor, Tirzah, Kedr Livanskiy and has performed at events with MUTEK, NXNE, POP Montreal, Cooper Cole Gallery, and Night Gallery, among others. As a DJ, she has recorded sets for NTS Radio, The Lot Radio in NYC, Invisible City in Toronto, Jerome Mixfiles, and fashion showroom L’Oeuvre. She has released original music with Cultivated Sound (NYC), Halocline Trance (Toronto) and “Never a Land Without People”, an on-going charity compilation. This year, she and Johnny Jewel co-produced a song for Talvi (of Prince Innocence). “The Day We Met Never Ended For Me” was released as a part of Italians Do It Better’s compilation series, After Dark. Over the years, her varied and restless musical explorations have ranged from noise-based, industrial leaning work through to hazy, ambient compositions. Always eager to experiment with her sound, her current work finds her settling into a dub and folk influenced atmosphere which aims to push the boundaries of what we consider pop. Having recently embraced her real name Kat Duma as her artist moniker, she is currently producing her first full-length album Real Life, set to be released April 21st, 2023 via DMY.
