Born and raised in Moscow, Katya (DJ KAT) has been deeply connected to music since childhood. With seven years of classical training in piano and choir, her early passion for music naturally evolved into a career as a DJ. She began her journey over six years ago, playing small home parties in Moscow. After moving to Thailand, her trajectory quickly accelerated — from her debut at the legendary Guy’s Bar to appearances at Full Moon and Thailand’s most iconic venues.

Now based on Koh Samui, KAT is known for her emotive, groove-driven sets that blend nostalgic 80s/90s influence with modern soundscapes — from indie dance and progressive house to melodic techno and organic rhythms. Her performances invite the audience on a dynamic journey, uniting deep feeling with irresistible energy.

Her nickname Katiroyal — a fusion of her name, musical roots, and playful flair — reflects her unique style and the powerful, elegant presence she brings behind the decks.
