Collaborating with World-Class Musicians
Tunbridge’s career has always been about the blend—whether it’s alt-pop, soul, or reggae, her music defies easy categorization.

Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer Billy Smiley in the hallowed halls of Nashville’s Sound Kitchen Studios, she has crafted an album that fuses rock, pop, and soul with hints of contemporary country. Recorded last year at The Sound Kitchen, Peter Frampton’s Studio, and The Castle, “Skin Deep” is set for release on October 11th. The album features top session players from Nashville, including Gary Lunn (Dolly Parton, Billy Ray Cyrus), Blair Masters (Peter Frampton, Garth Brooks), Dan Needham (Michael McDonald, Chicago), Jonathan Crone (Mat Kearney, BeBe & CeCe Winans), and Tom Hemby (Amy Grant).
Bringing Art and Music Together
The album cover art is drawn by iconic comic book artist Steve Rude, adding another layer of creative depth to Tunbridge’s vision. She recently visited Rude’s studio in Arizona and made a guest appearance on his YouTube live, where he introduced her written comic book, “You’re My Superhero.” The comic, tied to her song “Superhero” celebrates everyday heroes and demonstrates Katy’s storytelling abilities across multiple mediums.
Award Recognition and New Tours
Tunbridge has also made headlines with her song “Lying Through Your Teeth,” which was nominated for the prestigious Hollywood Independent Music Awards. This recognition highlights her growing presence in the industry as she prepares for the release of “Skin Deep.” Looking ahead to 2024, Tunbridge is planning a tour to bring her new material to life on stage, allowing fans to experience her dynamic performances firsthand.
