Catherine Elms is a dark alternative singer-songwriter and pianist who crafts epic, emotionally-charged soundscapes that invite listeners to explore the complexities of human experience. Catherine released her sophomore album ‘Bring In The Wild’ in August 2025, a lush, confessional album that blends Kate Bush theatricality, Nick Cave grit, and Fiona Apple intensity. 

Praised as “hauntingly beautiful” by BBC Radio Wales, “dramatic” by Buzz Magazine, and “a master in atmospheric song building” by Plastic Magazine, her fearless approach to music-making and willingness to confront deep emotional themes have earned her a devoted following among those seeking authentic artistic expression.

Catherine lives near Cardiff in Wales, and will be touring the UK in 2026.

“It’s dramatic and transcendent, with a fearless, feminist edge” – Loud Women

“a cathartic masterpiece” – We Write About Music

“a dreamy slice of melancholic alternative pop” – Plastic Magazine

“Every track feels sculpted to serve the emotion at its core—piano lines that ache, percussion that pulses like a heartbeat, string swells that lift and then drop you back into silence. It’s a record that breathes, and in that breath there’s space for both beauty and brutality.” – Apricot Magazine

“a moody and magnificent descent into the tension between love and destruction” – Illustrate Magazine
