Multifaceted singer-songwriter Phoebe Katis is back with a brand-new single, i’m a kid—a deceptively simple, almost childlike tune filled with optimism and layered with deep, thought-provoking themes. True to Phoebe Katis’ signature style, the track seamlessly blends catchy melodies with introspective storytelling.
i’m a kid is accompanied by a quirky, visually captivating music video animated by Richie Brown. In the video, Phoebe portrays herself as a young child contemplating life’s changes, the passage of time, and the energy wasted on trivial conflicts.
“It’s here. One of my absolute favorite things I’ve ever made. Produced by one of my absolute favorite artists. A pipe dream turned reality that still doesn’t feel real,” Phoebe shared on YouTube, teasing fans with the promise of “a ridiculous music video to follow next Weds.”
i’m a kid marks the third single from Phoebe’s upcoming album. Over the past eight years, she has steadily built a strong presence in New York’s underground music scene—a city she now calls home.
Originally from the U.K., Phoebe Katis first gained recognition in 2014 when she wrote and performed the theme song for the BAFTA and BIFA-winning film Kilo Two Bravo, which earned international acclaim. Since then, she has cultivated a prolific career, releasing five albums in less than a decade and collaborating with industry heavyweights like Grammy-nominated Cory Wong, Scary Pockets, and The Late Show bandleader Louis Cato. Her music defies traditional genre constraints, merging retro-pop, R&B, jazz influences, and theatrical elements into a sound that is uniquely hers.
Throughout her career, Phoebe has toured extensively across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and the U.K., performing both her original work and starring in the critically acclaimed Carole King & James Taylor Story. Her performances at renowned festivals such as Glastonbury and the Montreal Jazz Festival, along with appearances at iconic venues like L.A.’s Troubadour and London’s Ronnie Scott’s, have solidified her status in the independent music scene.
Beyond performing, Phoebe has also carved out a space as an independent producer, organizing self-managed tours and fostering a direct connection with her audience. Her ability to engage listeners was evident in the success of her recent singles: Good Days, released in September 2024, amassed over 380,000 views on TikTok in a single video, while Kindred Lover landed at No. 2 on Spotify’s editorial Nu-Funk playlist and received multiple spins on BBC Introducing.
With i’m a kid, Phoebe Katis once again proves her ability to surprise listeners with fresh sounds and introspective storytelling, reaffirming her talent for reinvention while staying true to her artistic essence.
