Katarzia (SK)
The Slovak singer-songwriter is said to have composed her first lyrics when she was 3, with the help from her grandmother. What she experienced later and first caught in her poems and then in folk-rap songs has given her the position of one of the most interesting personalities of Slovakia’s alternative music scene. She took to making songs with a guitar in 2013 and now her debut Generácia Y has won the cult status. Her songs about ‘common-day problems, relationships around a woman of the Third Millennium who has been born into freedom’ resonate well in Czechia and Slovakia.
