Katy B

Katy B is a singer who came up in the UK house and dubstep scenes, and has now started to trend toward a more contemporary R&B style sound in her solo work. The London-based vocalist released her first single, "Katy On a Mission," in 2010, which reached number five on the UK singles chart. The song's combination of mainstream dance pop appeal and obvious nods to electronic subgenres such as funky house and dubstep have helped Katy B achieve a fair amount of crossover success between mainstream and underground circles. Her 2010 debut LP, On a Mission, was very successful in England and throughout Western Europe, peaking at #2 on the UK album charts.
