Katy ? (born; 1 January 1991) and popularly known as Katy B is a R&B, UK garage, UK Funky and hip hop singer and rapper.
Contents |
Katy B was born and raised in Archway, a district in South London, to a Scottish mother and a Jamaican father. She grew up listening to hip-hop music. Though she wanted to become a schoolteacher or social worker, her biggest aspiration was to be a musician.
Katy B (originally called Baby Katy) was first known for her vocals on UK Funky DJ NG's underground track "Tell Me", which was regularly played on London pirate radio stations and was later released as a single. She is currently recording her debut album.
UK Funky is a style of modern electronic dance music, heavily influenced by various styles of house and beyond, including contemporary, electro house, and increasingly, broken beat, soca, and afrobeat. It mixes traditional UKG beats, bass loops and synths with latin percussion and contemporary R&B-style vocals. The genre generally divides into two sub-genres; Bassline and African Tribal.
Percussions such as bongos, tambourines, and drums are used to give a dark exotic african sound due to the constant rhythm of the bongos. UK Funky tracks may also contain steel pan melodies. The crazy snare which people will remember from Garage and Bassline, is non-existent in UK Funky.
