“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
“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
“Ache is deserving of additions to forward-thinking electronic pop playlists, as well as spins on BBC 6 Music and Radio 1 evening shows. An exciting and confident release from an artist determined to do things her own way. Great stuff.”
Record Of The Day
Stamped with an individuality and high style of her own, Chubby Cat has had a busy couple of months since the release of her last single Kissin In The Valley-O.

She’s already been making waves in Ireland with her earlier singles, Big Dog Barking, 21st Century Panic Attack, & 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 .
Her Single ‘Big Dog Barking’ is currently nominated for a RTE Choice Prize as one of their ‘Irish Songs Of The Year’.
Several of Chubby Cats previous releases have been made ‘Track of the Week’ on Spin South West, 2FM, and received significant play on 2FM, Today FM and a host of other regional stations.

On 100 Miles An Hour
I wrote this song whilst feeling squashed under the pressures of being an artist in any creative setting. I love to make music and write, but sometimes it can feel very difficult to keep a cool head, while juggling your emotional side and rational side so closely together. 100 Miles An Hour is a reflection of those head spinning moments when feeling some slight loss that no one is recognising what I am trying to do with my lyrics and music. It’s an argument that lives in my head and I think the song captures it well. – Chubby Cat
Chubby Cat is building a significant live audience, leaving a lasting impression on crowds, as seen at Ireland Music Week this year where she won the coveted Best Artist Award at Ireland’s biggest international showcase event.
Upcoming Live:
BBC Radio Ulster Live At The Limelight, Belfast on March 4th
