Describing the creative process behind "Killin It," KOTA! recalls, "The tag line, 'I’m killin’ it,' came immediately—it seemed like the perfect anthem lyric to show off the strength we all have inside." Drawing from her diverse musical upbringing and early experiences in the industry, KOTA! has crafted a song that resonates with authenticity and power.

Growing up KOTA! would listen to the radio with her parents, easily recognizing her favorite bands and songs. With both parents being writers (screenwriting and nonfiction) , she was immersed in a creative environment from a young age, often spending time on sets (horror short movies) and crafting her own stories.

By the age of five, KOTA! was already writing, and by nine, she was recording her original songs in a family friend’s recording studio in her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This early start marked the beginning of a lifelong journey in music, one characterized by constant experimentation and growth across various genres.

Throughout her teenage years, KOTA! explored a wide range of musical styles. She studied dance, wrote pop songs, and played in numerous high school garage bands. Over the past 15+ years, her involvement in both solo and band projects has helped her develop a unique songwriting style that seamlessly blends the diverse elements of her musical education.

Known for her distinctive fashion sense and vibrant persona, KOTA! infuses her music with a mix of girly and grunge aesthetics, drawing inspiration from icons like Gwen Stefani and Alexander McQueen. Her recently released single "Dead Pretty" encapsulates her vibrant persona with the line, “Everything is better with some glitter on your face.

Looking ahead, KOTA! is eagerly preparing to bring her new material to live audiences, with plans to embark on a tour in 2025. KOTA! has seen, done, and experienced it all in her time as an artist. She finds no greater joy than making an impact on her fans, affectionately known as her "besties," whether it’s at a live show or through an Instagram DM. Everything she does is fueled by her love for each and every one of her supporters. With a heart full of gratitude and creativity, KOTA! is ready to take the muic world by storm.
