An indie-pop Chinese-Canadian singer-songwriter from Toronto, Katelyn's highlights include appearing on Guangdong Television's "Voice of Cantonese" singing competition, and winning the "Online Most Popular Award" with Fairchild Radio's "Songquest 12, 2019: Chinese Singing Songwriting Competition" with her original song, "Let Us Start." Asides from singing competitions and various cover performances, Katelyn pursues to find her place in music through writing original songs and performing live on Twitch. Through Chinese singing competitions (where she can't read or write the language) and now pursuing her own sound (predominantly in English with Western pop music influences), she's found it difficult to find a happy medium between her two cultures, as documented in RepresentAsian's article, "Too Chinese to be Canadian, Too Canadian to be Chinese." As there were little Asian-Canadian pop artists to look up to, she hopes to become that artist she wish she had growing up.

Somebody
A series of songs documenting the stages of falling in, out of, and staying in love, 'Somebody' is my first released single from my upcoming 'Somebody' EP that I wrote back in 2017. Capturing my state of mind at the time being single, I describe the liberating feeling of being fully healed from a bad breakup yet this loneliness that comes with being single. This carefree indie-pop reminiscent of the early 2000s pop music explores the long-time notion of "loving yourself before you can love others": while one can feel helplessly single wondering who'd come along to sweep us off our feet, it doesn't mean we "must have somebody".
I truly hope you love this song! I strive to write catchy relatable bops as those are what got me through my toughest times. more
