Kat Kikta is a multi-dimensional artist, producer, singer, and songwriter.
Her creativity straddles music, film, and sound art. Through her use of sound healing instruments, her own field recordings, 'found' & electronic beats, and multi-layered vocals, she creates Avant-pop songs dripping with cinematic and ambient intentions.

Kat is a dedicated on-screen performer, and this becomes evident in the anticipated music videos attached to her work.
Many of the instruments Kat uses are normally found in the realm of healing, meditation, and spiritual mysticism. This is no accident, as she openly aims to create music that helps to heal and rekindle the spirit.

Katarina started life in the snowy mountains of communist-controlled Czechoslovakia, came to London with forty pounds in her pocket, and set about working her way through a Performing arts degree. Although she has always been a prolific writer of songs, she was to become a screen actress, video, and sound artist, before she started to write & perform her own songs.

On this journey, she overcame mental illness, a paralyzing lack of self-confidence, and recovered to become a qualified therapist & yoga and meditation teacher, self-funding her creative ambitions.

Self-development and growth are indeed strong themes running throughout her work. Whilst most of the music Kikta produces is comprised of electronic elements, she often employs exotic instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, water-phones, angel forks- instruments normally found in the realm of sound-healing and mysticism, perhaps evidence of her background, and a clue that she is interested in making music which elevates and inspires others.

Self-expression through songwriting, dance, and painting carried her through the hardest times and her self-confessed mission is to help others through her music with her truthful, unpretentious, and vulnerable lyrics.

A reoccurring notion prevalent in much of her work is that there is no experience that is so dark and intolerable that cannot be turned into a strength that can serve you.

Many of Kat's lyrics have come about in sudden moments of 'enlightenment' and clarity, most of them just 'came to her', as if downloaded.

“It is my responsibility in this life to channel and translate the things that come to me and find the best way to bring them into the world through sound, lyrics, melodies & atmosphere so that they can move onwards on their own journey. It’s important they don’t stop with me, but touch other people the same way they touched me."

Her music encounters our everyday stories and questions our perception of time, present moment, dreams & realities, space, and atmosphere, this is augmented by her visual work. She has produced and performed in a number of music videos to accompany her sounds, which often cross the boundary from music video to art film to drama and back again.
Kat is currently releasing songs from her debut album Moldavite.



SOPHIA AYA 
Introducing a new dimension of artistic expression—an elevation into sacred sound and contemplative artistry—brought to life by Kat Kikta.

This innovative persona embodies a pursuit of higher consciousness, channeling a deeply spiritual and poetic approach to music. Rooted in Kat's lifelong journey of healing, self-discovery, and mysticism, her work explores the boundaries between ambient soundscapes, ritualistic tones, and transcendent melodies designed to evoke reflection and inner awakening.

Drawing from a rich tapestry of ancient instruments, sacred resonances, and organic field recordings, her compositions serve as portals into meditative realms and higher states of awareness. This phase of her creative evolution is intentionally crafted to inspire reverence, stillness, and spiritual connection—an invitation to listen with intention and to explore the depths of consciousness through sound.

Her background—shaped by childhood in the mystical landscapes of High Tatra mountains of Central Europe, overcoming personal challenges, and studying holistic healing—continues to inform her artistic vision. This new musical language is a vessel for exploring mystical themes, plant medicine, healing energies, and the profound power of presence.

Through immersive sound and luminous visual accompaniments, she creates experiences that transcend entertainment, becoming sacred rituals of reflection and transformation. Her intention is to foster a space where listeners can reconnect with their inner truths, guided by music that seeks to elevate and inspire.

While Kat's work engages with lyrical and more traditional song writing, this refined expression delves into the high art of spiritual exploration. It is an invitation to venture beyond the ordinary and into a realm of sacred sound, where music becomes a catalyst for awakening and divine insight.

Currently, she is releasing a series of transcendental compositions—meditative, ritualistic, and deeply resonant—designed to guide listeners on their own journeys of inner discovery.
