Though pop and rock were the genres that Annika Catharina first loved, it was the songs of Patsy Cline that drew her to country music. After hearing "Walking After Midnight" and "Crazy", she wanted to perform country songs any chance she got.

Based in the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, Annika started singing country covers along with other classics, placing in various competitions, such as Variety’s Got Talent, PNE Star Showdown, and Youth Talent Search BC.

In 2021, Annika began releasing music for the first time – first with a collaborative cover of “Sweet Child of Mine” with Sad Puppy and DuoViolins that netted over 1 million Spotify streams, as well as four 2022 singles as part of the country duo Broadway Crush. On stage, she continued to make strides with performances at the Rockin’ River Music Festival and the “Hell or High Water” fundraiser in 2022.

Eager to release music as a solo artist, Annika’s first single, “Better” arrived in 2023, gaining Spotify editorial placement on the “Fresh Finds” playlist and also being added to rotation on Sirius XM Canada’s Top of the Country.

Having found a new muse in the form of the producing duo The Renaissance(Garrett Ward and Dan Botch), Annika released her follow-up single “Broke It” later that summer, gaining support through Amazon Music this time on their “Breakthrough Country” and “Just North of Nashville” playlists.

As she celebrates her first single of 2024, “What if I”, Annika Catharina is excited, inspired, and – more than anything – grateful for being able to record music and share it with the world. Since releasing “What If I” the single has gained support from Spotify editorial playlists  “New Music Friday Country” “North Country” “RADAR Canada” “Equal Canada”  and “Frontier Country” “Next From Nashville”. What if i also gained support from Apple Music by landing on “Canada’s Country” editorial playlist “What if I” is now spinning regularly on Sirius XM Ch171 Top of the Country and recently  went to #2 on the charts. Annika released her second single of 2024 “Bandit” on May 3rd. "Bandit"  landed on Apple Music's "New in Country" and Canada's Country" editorial playlist right away. "Bandit" also gained support from Spotify placing on "New Music Friday Country", "Frontier Country" and "Country Fresh Finds". Annika is currently working on a new single that she is super excited about and hopes to release it before the year ends
