Her music video, Laying In My Bed (directed by Louis Falzarano) was licensed out to the opening sequence of the MTV show Damage Control. Katya was invited to play the world-famous Venice Boardwalk Carnevale Festival, where her performance drew comparisons to that of a female Jimi Hendrix.

Out of 300 performers, Katya was chosen by Chris Douridas and Gemma Dempsey in Los Angeles for an internationally released compilation CD called 2623 Main Street.

Her roots are Russian and her music is revolutionary. Katya's music career started at the early age of 5, when her grandmother insisted on giving her classical piano and voice lessons. Nina Kent, who was born in Ossa, Russia was a trained classical pianist and singer. At age six, Katya's interests expanded to the guitar which led her to be a songwriter. The keys to the golden kingdom were granted, and Katya's whole world became about music. Today she is an accomplished musician playing piano, keyboard, rhythm and lead guitar as well as being an incredible vocalist and a high-energy performer.
