In the past decade, Katya Shilonosova, performing with the stage name Kate NV, has become one of the most prominent artists on the international experimental avant-pop scene.
Her collaborations with the labels RVNG Intl. and WORKSHOP, her performances at the biggest festivals of non-conventional music, and her invariably original approach to sound have made her a figure closely followed by international music critics.
Combining different genres (Japanese synth pop and academic neoclassical music, the Soviet avant-garde and outsider pop) and languages (English, Russian, French, and Japanese), she effortlessly moves between different personas, eras, and aesthetics. Her ambient performances of captivating fragility are as striking as her gigs that fill audiences with childlike joy.
