Sadness Theory

Waiting to affect you with my music

Sadness Theory is self-composed, melodious singer/songwriter music wishing to affect you with its stories. Sadness Theory started out as a music duo performing together since 2008 and is since 2011 a soloproject, with Kattis singing and playing either the piano or the guitar. Sadness Theory has performed in various venues mainly around Uppsala in Sweden such as local festivals, theme nights and vintage-events. Made of things, released in 2012, was featured by Mary from the LA based blog Along comes Mary, who says:

I have fallen in-love with their current single, “Made of Things”. ”What do you believe in” she sings, “praying to a Gucci God, who made a bag? What’s on your mind, update yourself before it’s too late.”

The first album "Praying to a Gucci God", released on the 6th october 2012, includes ten tracks with the valuable contribution from local artists. A common theme in my music is environment, reusing the things we own but also the identity issues that emerge from living in a materialistic society.

So WHO is Kattis? I started singing when I was a child but started composing and playing instruments in my early twenties. I get inspired by the people around me, the world we live in, my everyday stories. Then I sit by the piano or the guitar and express my thoughts and feelings through the lyrics and melodies. Artists that have inspired me a lot in my music are Tori Amos, The Cure and Portishead. Other artists I enjoy and that awaken my creativity are Regina Spektor and Marina and the Diamonds.

Here on my website you can listen to my music, find contact- and gig information and read my lyrics. You will also find some amazing photos on my website thanks to the fantastic photographer Spyros Paloukis. The photos are taken in Brusells, Belgium, at the café Roi de Belges.
