Katie .H. Hughes.

(formerly Katie in the Attic)

My music sits in the space between contemporary folk, modern classical and intimate singer-songwriter story  telling. Piano-led songs are woven with viola, creating textured, emotionally rich arrangements designed for seated, listening audiences. My focus is on atmosphere and connection. 

I write and perform for people who value stillness, depth and honestly. Music that unfolds gently and lingers. My work fits naturally within intimate venues arts centres, listening rooms and curated events that promote thoughtful songwriting and immersive live experiences. 

What I Offer

I offer both a flexible range of performances, tailored to suit both intimate settings and larger events. 

* Solo performances. Original songs and carefully chosen covers, performed with piano, viola and voice, creating a warm and engaging listening experience. 

*Piano & Vocals. Expressive piano-led sets with heartfelt vocals, ideal for concerts, ceremonies and reflective spaces. 

*Viola solo. Soulful viola pieces that add depth, texture and atmosphere to space. 

*Collaborative Performances. I enjoy working with other musicians and am always open to collaborative or joint performances. 

*Commissions & Songwriting. I write bespoke songs and compositions tailored to individual stories, events or gifts - something truly personal and unique. 

I can learn music quickly by ear, and also read sheet music, allowing me to adapt easily to specific requests and provide a professional, versatile service. Improvisation and live interaction are an important part of my practice, and I'm happy to step in, jam, or add a new dynamic to an existing musical setup. 

Whether you're looking for classical elegance, contemporary favourites, or original music, my aim is always the same: to create a calm, memorable and emotionally resonant experience.
