KASIA is the personal musical project of Catherine Krol, Polish-American singer-songwriter based in Chicago, IL. Her music reflects a deep appreciation of jazz, bossa nova, R&B, and an early love of melismatic pop divas. With these influences in tow, a KASIA show promises unforgettable melodies, an adventure in rhythm and dynamics and a vocal performance that ranges from cathartic vocal belting to soft serenading.

“Heart is a Fire” and “Great (or Happy)” are KASIA’s first two singles set to release in late October. Reflecting over expectations and disappointments from others, these songs journey through themes of self-acceptance and emotional independence. Produced with Duncan Lee (of Jaewon), these tracks are a nod to Catherine’s musical inspirations growing up such as Christina Aguilera, Minnie Riperton and Amy Winehouse.
