In a whirlwind journey from sharing heartfelt acoustic covers and original songs on social media livestreams to topping the UK music charts, 23-year-old Cat Burns has proven that authenticity is the key to success in the music industry.
Within just two years, Burns has emerged as one of the UK’s most authentic chart-toppers, capturing the hearts of audiences with her soulful voice and genuine personality. Her career trajectory took a remarkable turn when she became one of the first British TikTokers to be signed to a major record label, a mere seven months after joining the app.
Since then, Burns has soared to new heights, sharing stages with musical luminaries like Ed Sheeran and collaborating with powerhouse artists like Sam Smith. Her hit record “go” received a remix featuring Smith, and Burns joined him on tour across Europe, solidifying her status as one of the UK’s most promising emerging artists.
Beyond her musical accomplishments, Burns’ passion for footwear has also been a prominent aspect of her journey. Recently, she unveiled a brand-new campaign with JD Sports and New Balance for NB’s all-new 9060 iteration, marking a full circle moment for Burns. Growing up, she frequented her local JD store to shop for New Balance sneakers, making the collaboration a natural and meaningful endeavor for her.
Reflecting on her partnership with JD Sports and New Balance, Burns expresses gratitude for the genuine and organic relationship they share. As she prepares for her performance at the official JD Sports and New Balance 9060 launch event in Manchester, Burns discusses her upcoming record, “alone,” and the inspirations behind her creative process.
From her humble beginnings as a social media sensation to her meteoric rise in the music industry, Cat Burns continues to captivate audiences with her authenticity, talent, and unwavering passion for music and fashion.
