Favouring emotional expressionism and intense beats, Catnapp brings a unique and bold take on songwriting and production. Her music and live shows are at once challenging and highly relatable, as she combines cutting-edge millennial aesthetics with openhearted lyricism and barely filtered feelings.

Amparo Battaglia started her journey in her native Argentina and made an impact in the underground scene of Buenos Aires. Arriving in Berlin in 2015, she found the perfect place to grow, with a city and musical environment that let her take crucial steps in her artistic development. By then she had already self-released many albums and EPs on which she tried to connect all the dots of her musical upbringing and influences, ranging from The Prodigy and Limp Bizkit to hip-hop and drum ’n’ bass.

Catnapp launched her own label NAPP Records in 2017, allowing her to push and support exciting new artists that explore similarly experimental and idiosyncratic sounds. In 2018 she signed to Modeselektor’s Monkeytown Records for the release of her EP Fear, and then her first full length Break in 2019. At the end of that year, she paid dues to one of her biggest influences by dropping a hilariously Gabber-style cover version of Limp Bizkit’s Full Nelson. In recent years she has steadily continued releasing on the label, recently also releasing a collaborative track with Modeselektor.

Her live performances have gained wide notoriety, and she was invited to bring her live set to the Netflix Emmy Award-winning production Unorthodox where she makes a guest appearance in a vibrant party scene. Four of her songs feature on the show’s soundtrack.
