Cat Rose - I Know The Dark

About us

Cat Rose is a rising folk–indie singer-songwriter based in Plymouth.
Cat has storytelling, atmospheric music that drifts between darkness, whimsy, and magic. A student of The Barbican Theatres Rebels Music and awarded funding by Youth Music, Cat has quickly established herself as a compelling new voice in the South West and Cat is making waves across the UK and beyond!

Her debut EP WasteLand, released in 2025, is a deeply immersive listening experience that unfolds like a storybook of isolation, resilience, and imagination. Built on ethereal textures and haunting melodies, the record explores themes of mental health, neurodiversity, and working-class identity. Listen with Monger has compared Cat's voice to Laura Marling's. All tracks from WasteLand featured on BBC Introducing, with host Tom Williams describing Cat as "a brilliantly talented songwriter with an interesting insight and a very funny creative personality — it comes across in her music."

Cat has played X2 sell out shows at the B Bar, The Barbican Theatre Plymouth, joined by local legends and emerging artists such as Daisy Mae. Cat also went on her WasteLand UK solo tour, where she visited destinations including Exeter, Bristol, London, Brighton, Liverpool, Darlington, and Newcastle.

Cat's song 'Seagulls' has got almost 50,000 streams across the world and her debut WasteLand EP reaching over 16,000 streams!

With a growing audience, strong BBC support, and a distinctive artistic identity, Cat Rose is an artist to watch. With exciting plans and announcements lined up for 2026, including performing at Sound Factory festivals BBC Introducing stage and the release of her Debut Album 'I Know The Dark' this is only the beginning of her journey.
