“Cat is an artist I’ve really enjoyed since she’s come on my radar, I think she’s absolutely brilliant, really great music”
Tara Kumar 2FM / BBC
“She’s been turning heads for the better part of 12 months now with her insane vocal range and penchant for experimenting with sounds under the pop umbrella.” – District Magazine (The Future of Irish Music)
“Cat has kept a solid and acclaimed presence without any rushed moves, honing her sound at her own pace… placing Chubby Cat in the bracket of Irish contemporary pop excellence”
The Thin Air
“That one really does go at 100 miles an hour. I said Indie Dance but there’s almost operatic levels of vocals in that. I honestly can’t wait to hear more from her” – Jess Iszatt BBC Radio 1
‘QUIET’ has arrived, and is already making lots of noise, landing on Spotify New Music Friday, Misfits 2.0, A Breath of Fresh Eire, Record of The Day and has been chosen as Track of The Week on Irish radio stations RTE 2FM and Spin South West.

The Cork via Dublin via London and now based in Belfast pop artist is doing it on her own terms to astonishing effect. Her vocals are second to none and musically she experiments with new styles accruing a hardcore fan base everywhere she goes.
She’s already been making waves in Ireland with her earlier singles, Big Dog Barking, 21st Century Panic Attack, 100 miles an hour, & Kissin In The Valley-O picking up support at Irish Radio, blogs and assorted DSP’s including Spotify’s New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, GLOW, UK & IE: Fresh Finds & New Pop UK.

“QUIET” talks about the way in which life is overwhelmingly busy, how at times I struggle with a mind that is chaotic and repetitive. In the midst of it all I have discovered the ability to tone everything down and block out the noise by spending time with a person who keeps it all at bay when I’m with them. For that I consider myself very lucky to have discovered some respite through a relationship with someone who is so important to me; it’s a privilege and I wanted express that in this song. – Chubby Cat
