‘Music is my way of connecting to people and awakening their emotions. Music gives me a voice, allowing me to uniquely express myself. This way, I’m also able to tell my life stories and share my emotions with others.’
Felicia Catharina is a singer-songwriter and producer. She was raised in The Netherlands, in a multicultural family (Moroccan, Indonesian, Moluccas & a little French descent). Making music was what Felicia always wanted to do in the future. Once exposed to music, she didn’t let it loose, taking every single opportunity to sing. Being able to decipher chords and notes and sing in tune, she started performing as soon as she was old enough to hold a microphone. To further develop herself, she took piano and singing lessons. Later, she also began taking dancing classes to gain stage performance skills. At the age of 15, she also started making music productions in Ableton Live.
Her music is Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop and Dance orientated. Felicia uses her skills to create her own music compositions and mix all of the genres together, to create her own ”flavor”. Her sound is comparable to artists such as; Tinashé, Jhené Aiko and Kelela. Felicia’s lyrics are ‘raw’ and ‘authentic’, she does not like to ‘polish’ the emotions in her songs. This makes her very real and relatable. She gets her inspiration from her own life circumstances and from other people’s stories. Artists who have had a big influence throughout her musical journey are; Beyoncé, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Kaytranada and Grimes.
As an independent producer, she knows exactly how to make the music fit her voice. When she suddenly gets a new idea, she can immediately turn her concepts into a beat. Her unique music productions combined with her powerful voice, always touches the audience.
At the age of 16, she began creating her debut EP ‘Beats From The Heart’. In her own small home ‘studio’, she turned song concepts into finetuned songs, until good enough for recording. For her, “good isn’t good enough”; perfection is. Her control behind all buttons underlines her great discipline and independence.
At the age of 17 she released her debut EP ‘Beats From The Heart’.
