Kitt Philippa

Kitt Philippa, also known as KP, is an indie pop artist whose songs combine classical training with urban electronic detail. Raised on classical music, Kitt Philippa works with words and music to explore themes of grace, hope and closeness, often against a sense of unease or danger.

Kitt Philippa is an organ scholar and experimentalist, and plays piano, guitar, clarinet, prayer bowl and bicycle wheel. The music is described as using digital sleight and as often reflecting difficult times while still reaching towards something luminous and rarefied.

Tracks such as “Human” present this approach clearly, with the listener drawn towards intimacy and a sense of shared humanity. The work balances acknowledgement of pain with an effort to move towards hope.
