Born and raised in Bradford, West Yorkshire, Kate Bond can be compared to the likes of King Krule, Jorja Smith and Lilly Allen. Starting her career in Newcastle, she has had various successes through @bbcradio1 @bbc6music and @bbcintroducing with @bbcintroducingnortheastyorks naming her “one to watch” in 2022. The release of her debut EP “Divide and Rule” in 2023 gained a lot of traction, with singles from the EP landing placements on Spotify editorials such as New Music Friday and Fresh Finds, wonderland magazine and gaining over 300,000 streams worldwide. ‘Seeping with the mind-stroking tendencies of neo-soul soundscapes, the track swells with sparkling synths and vintage reverbs — marrying old-school soul and modern pop in a unique partnership. Totally unafraid to stride clear of the status quo, “We Just Want To Be Loved” is an angsty exploration of women’s true desires — making for a difficult-to-hear yet beautifully poignant effort.’ - WONDERLAND MAGAZINE "When I heard this song, it stopped me in my tracks. Absolute top tier!"- Gemma Bradley, BBC Radio 1 (Beauty Sleep by Kate Bond) “Such a powerful tune”- Emily Pilbeam, BBC Radio 6 music (Yasmine by Kate Bond) “What a bloody banger”- her mum
