Keye Katcher – „Isses Nich“ + Exclusive Interview

Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?

I think a „galaxy magic mule“ would be the perfect fit as it’s purple, from outter space and interesting to look at. Just like my new music video.

Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

I’m happy to be releasing the 4th music video off my first german EP „Wir alle Eins“ which I released in the fall of 2021. It’s been quite a bumpy ride in the last two years, but I’m thankful to close this chapter with a video that I’m so proud of and that’s so different from what I’ve been doing before. The song and video to „Isses Nich“ are very special to me as it’s my personal „earth song“. It’s about moving forward as a society instead of going backwards in time. There’s a lot of issues to fix these days but the main topic of the EP is that we have to stick together, listen and talk to each other, cause we’re all in this together.

We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)

I’m totally up for a unicorn skeleton to be found. 🙂

What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

Flamboyant.

Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

I wanna encourage people to passionately be themselves. I know firsthand that it can be difficult to not fit the norm. If I can inspire a young or any person to express themselves more freely, that’s the biggest goal. I’ve always looked up to artists that push the boundaries and don’t play it safe. That’s why I love to break gender boundaries and why I usually don’t wear jeans and a t-shirt on stage even if that could have made my career a little easier.

In my music, I deal with heartache (that’s where I really suffer, really fast), finding self-love, and figuring out your place in society and the world.

Beside music, do you have any special talents?

You can show me any Christina Aguilera picture and I’ll tell you when and where it was taken. I’m a super fan and she was my most significant musical influence growing up.

Being on stage feels like….!

…opening up a valve and releasing all the emotions, all the stress and all the excitement that has built up. I had the privilege to record my first live session with six beautiful and talented female musicians in the beginning of this year. Being able to collaborate with amazing musicians on my own songs has always been a big dream and it surely felt like one while performing. These seven live sessions will be released throughout May and June.

How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??

I learned to sing by practicing a lot –  first whenever my parents weren’t home, I played and sang in an accordion orchestra for a couple of ten since I was a child and then I started singing in clubs in Berlin when I was 19. 12 years later I’m still hungry to improve my vocal skills and also acquire some new skills to showcase in future projects.

A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

What song should I listen to this summer? „It’s Gonna Be Good“ (English version) is a great song to dance to with your friends in the sun. 🙂
