Los Angeles-based pop singer/songwriter
Kathryn Dean began writing songs in her mid-teens. The inclusion of two of her songs on the Brazilian teen soap opera Malhacao in 2014 sparked her first major success, and she followed up that same year with her self-titled debut EP. Her passionate, soulful vocals recall
Adele, an admitted influence of
Dean's, though her songs have an often playful, rock-inspired feeling to them. In the spring of 2015, she released her debut full-length, Hit the Lights. ~ Timothy Monger
