We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Katery G. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Katery below.

Alright, Katery thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

I want to start by expressing my genuine pleasure and gratitude for the opportunity to share my projects and insights with you. It has truly been a fortunate journey working on various captivating and enriching ventures.

One of the latest endeavors I’d like to share is a beautiful blend of my two greatest passions: film and music.

The project began with the creation of a science fiction narrative, which later evolved into a musical album, where each song serves as a distinct chapter.

After I completed the story and wrote down the lyrics, the focus shifted to the intricate process of production and composition. Although this moment of the process was incredible, I wish to emphasize the creative journey involved in crafting the music videos, a crucial aspect of this project.

In the initial phase, we brought to life two distinct music videos for the first song, titled “TWO WORLDS,” the pivotal starting point of this multi-faceted narrative.

I opted to present two versions, one portraying the science fiction aspect, narrating the story:

And the other, a B-SIDE with a fantasy genre approach:

Both were co-directed and co-produced, a venture that brought immense joy.

And I’m thrilled to share that we’ve recently achieved Official Selection status at the Lift-Off Sessions by Pinewood Studios and are now available on Vimeo on demand for two weeks.

Looking forward, I’m optimistic that this project will unveil numerous more positive developments. I am in a perpetual state of observation, analysis, and discovery, constantly surprising myself with how the universe expresses itself. My aim is to continue learning and generating fresh ideas to contribute to a better, more equitable, and harmonious world.

This story became a means for me to convey how I perceive the world and to extend an invitation to others to question their actions, realizing how we and everything is “Undoubtedly Intertwined”.

My motivation for penning this story stems from a belief that it serves as a way to describe my worldview. I see empathy as a fundamental solution for harmonious living, understanding that beneath our diverse perspectives, we are essentially the same being, expressed through varying consciousness.

This initial song of the galactic journey prompts self-reflection. Are we truly distinct worlds, or has that been impressed upon us? It’s an invitation to question our beliefs and motivations. To question if our actions stem from genuine conviction or societal influence. As I wrote in the song, “who is the real big enemy? Is it you or who put us to fight?” This is a form of questioning – Who am I? What is my purpose? Why am I making this decision?

In this specific narrative, I’ve embodied these questions in a character facing a life-or-death situation, accentuated for effect. However, my aspiration is for this narrative to transcend the individual and resonate universally, encouraging everyone to ponder the essence of their decisions and their implications, both on a personal and a broader scale. What we give to others through our choices, regardless of their magnitude, and what we become as a result of those choices – these are fundamental reflections the narrative endeavors to provoke.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Katery is a young and multidisciplinary artist recognized for her remarkable histrionic abilities and diverse artistic skills.

Her artistic journey commenced at a tender age with the creation of stories and songs, evolving swiftly to writing her first musical theatre narrative at 11. This early passion for storytelling set the stage for her artistic voyage. At 14, she delved into the realms of drumming, singing, and acting, marking the inception of her musical and acting endeavors. Her passion for these art forms continued to grow.

Katery’s recent ventures include notable roles in film and television. Notably, she featured in the Apple TV series “Acapulco” and the short film “Diaz,” directed by Mauricio Ochmann. Additionally, her role as a lead in “Que falta,” directed by Indigo Bates, earned acclaim at various international film festivals.

In the realm of music videos, she’s worn multiple hats, contributing as a model, dancer, and leading actress. This platform allows her to amalgamate her love for music and acting, creating compelling visual narratives.

Her journey led her to Los Angeles in 2019, where she honed her craft through acting classes with Lesly Khan. This transition marked the genesis of her solo projects as a singer, songwriter, and film director. Her recent release, “TWO WORLDS,” represents a significant chapter in her rock-electropop opera, based on her science fiction narrative “Undoubtedly Intertwined.”

Katery’s music traverses diverse genres, incorporating dream pop, R&B, electronic and rock. Her aim is to craft a sound that echoes her varied influences and resonates with a wide audience.

In the realm of filmmaking, Katery adopts a hands-on approach, engaging in all aspects from writing and directing to editing. As an actress, she delves deep into characters, seeking authenticity in their portrayal and exploring their intricacies.

Her storytelling is profoundly influenced by her explorations of different cultures and countries. This exposure enriches her narratives, allowing her to weave a tapestry of diverse human experiences.

The foundation of “TWO WORLDS” is her science fiction tale “Undoubtedly Intertwined.” Each musical composition represents a chapter, offering a profound exploration of empathy, forgiveness, and the interconnectedness of humanity. It is an artistic endeavor that mirrors the shared essence of humanity.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Recently, I discovered one of my life missions—to heal and project this healing through various artistic realms. I aspire to share my journey, showcasing how one can function as a beacon of expansion, inspiration, or an example of achieving despite any circumstances or traumas one might have endured.

My desire is to heal through my music, my characters, and my creations. I aim to unveil all that I have learned, the diverse methods and techniques to overcome obstacles and rediscover oneself.

If, at any point, you find yourself grappling with feelings of inadequacy, remember, we are in this together. We are all inherently original and unique. I seek to celebrate our uniqueness every day, urging us to revel in our individuality.

I endeavor to make you feel less alone, to assure you that I am here. I want you to know that we likely have experienced similar trials, and I am here to guide you through this intricate world. Know that you are not alone, and I am by your side, aiming for this journey to be nothing short of beautiful.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

I resonate deeply with this question because whenever I encounter someone, be it an artist, scientist, creative, entrepreneur, athlete, regardless of their field, if they evoke a profound interest or inspiration in me, I am intrigued to know what they’ve read or what has significantly influenced their lives. What philosophies guide them, or what thought processes they adhere to, and what aspects they return to in their personal journey.

I believe this life is shaped by habits; every action we undertake in a day reflects in our growth and future. I share this because the habit of reading or dedicating 20 minutes a day to something inspiring can alter our reality. Similarly, with meditation, as Abraham Hicks puts it, it’s like unplugging the vacuum before vacuuming.

I aspire to share the things I’ve learned in my journey as a human being and as a creative individual.

Firstly, a book that significantly impacted me was “Letting Go” by David Hawkins. It initiated my understanding of how we can train our minds to vibrate differently and project that energy. Additionally, “The Tao of Physics” by Fritjof Capra and the teachings of Louise Hay have been instrumental.

Realizing that I have a neurodivergent brain was another defining moment. This understanding led me to accept many aspects of myself that society or the way I was brought up deemed as not right, making me believe I was wrong or abnormal. Embracing these unique traits, thoughts, and ways of doing things has been transformative.

I also wish to share insights into meditation and various healing and self-awareness practices. I have trained in various techniques, and I’d like to share them – Tapping, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, various meditation practices like Transcendental Meditation or the Silva Method, affirmations, and EMDR. Each of these has contributed to my growth and understanding of self.
