Indie Rock from katie drives

Berlin-based katie drives is an emerging pop rock artist who takes influence from the female pioneers of the style such as Paramore and Avril Lavigne. Armed with powerful vocals and driving guitar tones, she offers her own original and fiercely catchy indie rock sound.

Growing up in the countryside of North Germany, despite only starting to write her own original material two years ago, she’s captured the imagination of listeners. Instilling her energising sound with honest and relatable lyricism, her music has resonated with fans around the world as she strides from strength to strength with each new release.

Making her introduction last year, in April 2021 she unveiled her sonic offering with her debut single “Maniac”. Followed up by her sophomore track “Why Fall In Love When You Can Fall Asleep?”, she then dropped her first EP Fake Smiles to critical acclaim.

Returning in 2022 she linked with Dear Me on “Ghosts”, and now brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “Next To You”. Exploring the ups and downs of appreciation, self-doubts and the feelings of guilt when comparing yourself to others, with her new single katie drives shares an empowering soundtrack for overcoming such situations.

Laying down a fusion of rock tones with electronic dance vibes, on “Next To You” the artist drops an infectious modern pop rock anthem. Paired with the single is a music video made in collaboration with fellow Berlin-based visual creatives including director Geraldine Hutt and director of photography Juliette Lejeune.
