Catnyp

Catnyp is a music project led by Henderson K Shatner, who is the primary songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. The band was formed in 2015 after Shatner returned to the United States from London, where he had retired from music for a time. Shatner's love for music drew him back in, and he has since crafted a unique sound that blends elements of rock with metaphoric brilliance, drawing comparisons to artists like Bowie and Daniel Ash. Catnyp's releases, such as "Sharp White Teeth" and "Catnyp IIII," showcase a blend of indie rock sensibilities with a modern-classic flair.

Catnyp's music is characterized by its eclectic mix of influences, reflecting Shatner's distinctive storytelling style. The band's discography includes live performances like "Stuck with a Valuable Friend: Catnyp Live in Portland" and studio releases like "Big Sky" and "Houdini," highlighting a dynamic range of musical expression. Through Catnyp, Shatner continues to explore new sounds while maintaining a strong connection to his roots in rock music.
