Kate Bollinger

Kate Bollinger is an American folk singer-songwriter from Charlottesville, Virginia.

Bollinger began making home recordings early in high school. She self-released her first extended play (EP) in 2017 titled Key West. In 2019, she released her EP I Don't Wanna Lose, which was recorded in one day, with very little production or mastering, using some free studio time she had acquired. "Candy", the second track of the EP, was inspiration for Kanye West's 2021 song "Donda". In 2020, Bollinger graduated from the University of Virginia and released her second EP, A Word Becomes a Sound.

She released the EP Look at It in the Light in 2022 through Ghostly International.

Bollinger's work has been highlighted several times at The Line of Best Fit, and she has performed for NPR's World Cafe.

On September 27, 2024, Bollinger released her debut studio album Songs from a Thousand Frames of Mind.

In September 2025 Bollinger was featured on the single "Belong to You" by Australian synth-pop group Cut Copy.
