Katya Richardson is a composer, best known for her looping vocals and mix of genres. Hailing from a diverse background of classical and jazz, she creates collaborative scores for dance and film that blur the line of acoustic and electronic music. Originally trained as a pianist, Katya has worked with acclaimed ensembles from all over the world, having written for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and premiered dance pieces at The Royal Opera House and Sadler's Wells in London. In 2016, her "Fanfare for Orchestra" opened for Steely Dan at the Hollywood Bowl - a work which Billboard deemed an "impressive composition." Katya has scored a number of commercials and documentaries as a film composer, most notably working as a studio assistant for Danny Elfman on "The Grinch" (2018). Her cinematic vocals can be heard on John Debney's horror-score to "Lake of Death" (2019) and as the folky, ethereal voice of Mt. Everest in an upcoming National Geographic feature. She also produces for synth-pop duo LightHouse, which FLAUNT Magazine describes as "a seemingly flawless combination of various synthetics that not only pleases the ears but causes listeners to get up and dance." Katya is currently scoring a movement film on plastic pollution, in partnership with KO Productions (UK), and recently released her debut electrojazz EP, "Left From Write." She graduated with a degree in composition and film-scoring at the University of Southern California and resides in Los Angeles.
