Scottish singer- songwriter Katie Gregson-MacLeod turned a melancholic breakup ballad into a worldwide hit, leveraging TikTok fame into a platform for genuine artistry.

It’s easy to see an artist go viral and think of them as an “overnight success,” but Gregson-MacLeod’s rise is a story of thoughtful artistry meeting the viral wave at just the right moment.

Katie’s songwriting explores themes of love, personal growth, and introspection, often with a poetic touch that invites listeners to connect with her on a deeper level. Her distinctive voice, paired with her ability to craft relatable narratives, has earned her a growing fan base

New single Teenage Love showcases a unique ability to blend heartache with beauty, leaving a lasting impression with every note.

She says: “Teenage Love’ honours the small but mighty part of me where anger resides. I wrote the majority of the song over two years ago, making sense of some new resentment I was feeling on behalf of a younger me. As a teenage girl, there is a feeling that ‘angry’ is the ugliest thing you can be. Only in hindsight did I realise the power anger would have given me back then; a power that I thought I would land on in the pursuit of appearing ‘mature’ or ‘patient’.

“The song doesn’t regret, but it questions a lot. It sieves through some residue from past relationships; unanswered questions, resentments. It also laughs at it all the way we must to make sense of it.”
