“I’m always the loud one,” smiles Katy Tiz.
Well, it’s the “loud ones” who get heard first, and you’re going to want to hear everything that the UK singer and songwriter has to say. On her forthcoming debut for Lava Records/Universal Republic Records, Tiz artfully weaves together pop, hip hop, and a little reggae with witty lyrics and punchy hooks. It’s meant to be blasted with the volume way up.
She penned the confessional and catchy “Fire Fire” buoyed by snappy beats and offbeat production. Influential blogger Arjan Writes reviewed the track positively, and they began corresponding via Twitter and then email. Arjan informed the artist that Harinder Rana— Senior Director A&R, Lava Records—wanted to get in touch with her as soon as possible after hearing the song.
