KATYA

KATYA (full name Ekaterina Kishchuk) is a Russian pop artist known for her quirky, meme-inspired tracks and hyper-catchy hooks that dominated the Eastern European internet scene in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Her music blends fizzy electropop with absurdist humor, often referencing viral trends and internet culture – see her bear-meme anthem “Превед медвед” or the TikTok-friendly chaos of “Прыгай вдоль поперек.” Tracks like “Дельфины” and “Мальчик Сереженька с Южного Бутово” showcase her signature mix of sugary vocals, glitchy production, and lyrics that swing between playful nonsense and sly social commentary. While keeping her personal life low-key, KATYA’s become a cult favorite for embracing the glorious weirdness of online culture through music that doesn’t take itself (or anything) too seriously.
