Indie Pop Artist Kathana Explores Anxiety + Relationships in New Single "Running Wild"

Indie pop/electronic artist Kathana gets to the crux of what makes us human by drawing from her own emotional experiences to pen her lyrics.

A native of Washington state, the singer and songwriter started performing at just 12 years old and cut her chops singing lead vocals in a number of bands based in the Pacific Northwest.

As she works on constructing her solo career, Kathana teamed up with producer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Gruchacz, who immediately took an interest in her writing style and complements the singer’s ideas with instrumental arrangements that combine edgy progressive guitar and electronic beats.

Kathana recently released her new single “Running Wild,” a track born out of the anxiety that can occur in relationships when our needs aren’t met or understood. "I wrote Running Wild at a time when my anxiety was affecting the stability of a relationship and I didn’t feel understood,” she says. “I needed someone to be patient with me. When It didn’t feel like that, it was like a snowball effect. I wanted the music to reflect my emotions so there’s a lot of dissonance and chaos."
