An artist in every sense of the word, CATA.PIRATA (née Catarina Aimée Dahms) has wowed audiences across the globe with her multilingual songs, spellbinding performances, and captivating visuals.

Born in South Africa, with roots & routes via Argentina, The Azores, Ibiza, and Reunion - and currently based between Aruba and Amsterdam - CATA.PIRATA is a creative force to be reckoned with.

After releasing two albums, collaborating with a plethora of artists, gaining international recognition for her work, and touring the world extensively with her previous band SKIP&DIE, CATA.PIRATA is now opening new dimensions to her solo career.

CATA.PIRATA is currently working on her highly anticipated debut solo album - written between Argentina, Amsterdam, and Aruba.

Having spent the last five years living on the Caribbean island of Aruba - focusing on artistic experimentation - the songs on her upcoming album touch on topics such as the melancholy of migration, empowerment, forgiveness, motherhood, and the sensuality of the sea - all through poetic metaphors and in deep-rooted connection with Mother Nature.

If you’re one of the lucky ones to have seen CATA.PIRATA live on stage (be it behind the decks or during a live show) then you know that, without a doubt, things are going to get wild. Her shows will get your heart melting and your hips shaking. CATA.PIRATA mixes the infectious rhythms and folkloric qualities of African, Latin-American, and Caribbean music with psychedelic heavy-beat-based futurism on analog and electronic soundwaves.

The live show accompanying her upcoming debut album tour is set to be an interdisciplinary performance - blending dance, visual poetry, and soundscapes - into a breathtaking experience worthy of international stages.
