Catty shares theatrical swipe at celeb culture on 'Tax Evasion', ahead of sold out UK tour dates

CATTY shares new single 'Tax Evasion' ahead of sold-out UK headline tour dates this month

 Rising Welsh pop force CATTY today releases new single 'Tax Evasion', a gloriously unfiltered, tongue-in-cheek take on fame, fortune and the absurdity of internet celebrity culture. The new single arrives ahead of sold out headline tour dates across the UK this month, culminating in a landmark show at Scala in London on 26th November.

Already catching the attention of thousands of fans online, including SZA and Absolutely, who co-signed the track on Instagram, 'Tax Evasion' finds CATTY skewering the fantasy of becoming a "middle class internet sad sensation", dreaming of private cars, VIPs, champagne and Chateau Marmont while throwing herself headfirst into the absurdity of it all.

"To be a video star, miming guitar / Mama I’d be jumping if they lowered the bar," she sings with a wink, as everyone from David Bowie and Sharon Stone to Katy Perry and Timothée Chalamet gets pulled into the orbit of her imagined superstardom.

Speaking on the single release, CATTY said:

"Tax Evasion was born from a conversation in the studio about how the music industry has become unbelievably difficult for anyone who doesn’t have the gift of nepotism or generational wealth. It’s not a drag, being a nepo baby is ok if you’re talented! This is me saying I’d probably be very different if I wasn’t worried about my next pay check and I had that leg up."

Bratty, theatrical and wildly catchy, 'Tax Evasion' brings a wicked sense of humour to CATTY’s carefully orchestrated pop world. The track follows the release of 2026 single 'Pavlov’s Dog' and her two EPs, 2025's Bracing For Impact and her 2024 breakout debut EP Healing Out Of Spite.

CATTY's new single 'Tax Evasion' is out now via AWAL. CATTY embarks on her debut headline tour of the UK this autumn. Final tickets for CATTY's Scala, London show are available to purchase here.

Proudly Welsh, with her fans affectionately known as ‘the coven,’ CATTY casts her songs like spells - part myth, part confession. Steeped in Welsh folklore and shaped by a lifetime of doomed crushes, she writes with a flair for the dramatic and a refusal to soften her edges. “Being Welsh seeps through my veins – it feels like a punch in the gut when people don’t know I’m Welsh,” she says. “I’m just writing about my life and I happen to be a massive lesbian. If I didn’t say ‘she’ in my songs, I wouldn’t be writing honest music – and what’s the point in that?”

Hailing from the port town of Caernarfon in Wales, and now based in London, CATTY’s star has been on a fast and uncompromising rise over the past couple of years. Across her 2024 breakout debut EP 'Healing Out Of Spite' and soaring 2025 follow up 'Bracing For Impact', she has earned praise from NME (Breakout), Popjustice (Twenty Quid Music Prize nomination), Dork (Digital Cover), CLASH (Next Wave), Official Charts (One To Watch), DIY (Get To Know), and more - while BBC Radio 1’s Jodie Bryant, Mollie King and Maia Beth have been unwavering champions.

In 2024, CATTY sold out her first ever headline show in 15 minutes, supported Dylan and Beth McCarthy on tour, and even opened for Stevie Nicks at BST Hyde Park, closing out the year by headlining a sold out show at London's Lafayette.

In 2025, CATTY performed at both Birmingham Pride and London Pride, stormed Latitude Festival with one of the most captivating sets of the weekend, headlined a sold-out CloseUp Festival, performed at the Women's Rugby World Cup, Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg and Sŵn Festival in Cardiff, and supported Beth McCarthy on a nationwide tour of the UK.

In 2026, CATTY has continued her run of selling out every London headline she's ever played, with an intimate showcase of new material at London's St Pancras Old Church. Next up, her debut UK headline tour which is all but sold out. CATTY is undoubtedly, well on her way to becoming Wales’ next great pop star.
