Artist: KA1TA
Name: Andrew Cabrera
Age: 18
Location: Dallas, Texas

🎙️ Musical Journey

KA1TA’s love for music was sparked by his brother, who inspired him to start writing and recording. What began in late 2024 has now grown into something real. Without his brother and close friend Freeway$antana, he says, none of this would exist.

🎧 Style & Sound

His voice carries what he calls a “stoic” or “composedly aggressive” energy – blending calm with explosive delivery. Whether it’s high-pitched, low or in-between, it’s KA1TA’s emotional control that defines him. His beats often feature his signature hi-hat and snare rolls. And don’t miss his background vocals — subtle but crucial.

🌀 Genre Blending

While KA1TA is rooted in underground hip-hop, he’s also drawn to indie rock, alternative, dance, DnB and techno. He admits most genre experiments don’t make the final cut — but alternative rock holds a nostalgic place in his heart.

🔥 Inspiration & Identity

KA1TA believes finding your own sound means not copying others. While artists like Scrim and 7oh2 deserve props, he focuses on self-expression over imitation. Every track is a puzzle of raw emotion and instinctive creation.

🛠️ Process & Rituals

He produces for himself — always aiming to rap on his own beats. The process is spontaneous: close eyes, mumble a flow, then dive into writing or recording. His unusual must-have? A burning incense cone to calm anxiety and ease nerves during recording.

🤝 Collaborations

KA1TA has linked up with names like Freeway$antana, VEXED, Bumboi, Jupiluxe, and TUNDRAMANE. One collab pushed him hard: TUNDRAMANE’s verse had him re-recording five times until it felt right.

🌠 Dream Features

Pouya, Ramirez, and Rocci top his dream list. But he values authenticity — he only collabs with artists who care about the craft more than clout or cash.

💿 Releases That Matter

KA1TA opens up through songs like “see you on the other side,” “gator” and “i know i’m not perfect but i try.” They’re personal — processing loss, love, and inner fears. Other underrated gems include “MOST WANTED” and “The Fallen of America.”

🚨 Milestone

Submitting his first album, “Save Yourself From The Pain”, was a huge step. It was a genre-bending experiment that proved to himself — and others — that vulnerability can be a strength.

🧠 Mindset & Vision

KA1TA’s goal? Give people something they can relate to — flaws, pain, truth. He shares his insecurities openly so listeners know they’re not alone. A perfect day for him? Just waking up and feeling good for once.

🔮 The Scene & The Future

He’s critical of the mainstream machine: too polished, too safe. In contrast, he sees the underground as full of hunger, passion, and real connection. In 5 years? Touring across the US (and maybe Europe) with the ones who’ve believed in the mission since day one.
