Chubby Cat is undeniably one of Irelands most exciting new electro-pop artists with a style that is kaleidoscopic – shapeshifting from pop and indie to dance and R&B, firmly stamped with an individuality and style of her own

Originally from Cork, now based in Belfast, Cat Doran, aka Chubby Cat, is growing a significant audience building upon the hype following her 2021 debut, Slipping, and subsequent releases, Big Dog Barking, 21st Century Panic Attack, Baby Blue, Ache and Not A Vibe.

Her most recent single, 100 Miles an Hour, was released in February.

A graduate of BIMM Dublin, she is garnering significant radio and press support from many quarters.
