Gabriela - CD Music

Katseye is an international girl group formed in 2023 through the project The Debut: Dream Academy, a collaboration between HYBE (South Korea) and Geffen Records (USA). It consists of six young artists from diverse backgrounds: Sophia Laforteza (Philippines), Manon Bannerman (Ghana/Switzerland), Daniela Avanzini (USA), Lara Rajagopalan (India), Megan Skiendiel (USA/Hawaii), and Yoonchae Jeong (South Korea).

Their official debut took place in June 2024 with the single "Debut," followed by "Touch," which quickly conquered TikTok and young audiences thanks to its striking choreography and catchy choruses. In August of the same year, they released their first EP, "SIS (Soft Is Strong)," where they explored a sophisticated, danceable, and emotional pop sound, presenting themselves as an artistic project that values ​​both strength and vulnerability.

In 2025, the band solidified their place on the global music scene with the single "Gnarly," a blend of hypepop and disco that earned them a spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Shortly after, they released their second EP, "Beautiful Chaos," where they further developed their sonic identity with tracks like "Gabriela," "M.I.A.," and "Gameboy." These new songs confirmed their talent for crossing genres and reinventing trends, even while seeking to assert their own voice in a competitive and demanding market.

Katseye stands out not only for its music, but also for its strong visual and stage presence. On stage, they combine detailed choreography with spontaneous energy, captivating audiences at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, and Mad Cool, as well as appearances on shows like M Countdown and performances on stages in the US, South Korea, and Europe.

The group's aesthetic, marked by a mix of streetwear, high fashion, and pop sensibility, has been reinforced by collaborations with brands such as Fendi, Glossier, and Pandora, demonstrating its cultural impact beyond music. Their songs speak of self-love, youth, emotional chaos, and friendship – universal themes treated with freshness and sensitivity.

Katseye is not just a musical group; it's a reflection of contemporary global pop: multicultural, hybrid, and constantly reinventing itself. With millions of followers on social media and a passionate fanbase, the group continues to push boundaries, establishing itself as one of the most promising and interesting female bands of the new pop generation.
