“Kat: I feel like it was so so much fun getting to translate everything. And I feel like it was a good challenge to have especially us that now we live here and we barely speak Spanish. It was cool to like brush up on our words and learn some new words that we never heard before.
Alex: One of the coolest things is translating the song and not only that, but then going into the studio. And then recording those translated words, because when you translate them and you play on guitar, you know, you get a feel for what it feels like but it’s not the same. It’s not the same when you finally add those words to the track that’s already built.
Kat: That’s when it’s like magic happens. So cool.
Alex: So cool. It comes to life and especially if you get the same emotions that you feel when you listen to the English and the Spanish it’s like okay, we’ve done it right. You know, it’s we didn’t lose any of the feeling that it originally had.“
“Alex: The EP title Kat & Alex Side A and Kat & Alex Lado B comes from vinyl records being you know one side is Side A and the other side is Side B. But the reason why we did Lado B on the back side is because…
Kat: All of the songs are fully in Spanish on the backside so that’s why we called it, instead of Side B even called it Lado B. I like the way you say Lado B.
Alex: You should say it again.
Kat: Lado B, you’re making fun of me. Alex: Lado B, yeah, no I like it.
Kat: You’re saying Lado B, Lado B. It’s cute.”

The husband-and-wife pair shake up country with full-bodied soulful delivery, engaging live instrumentation, and bilingual lyrics, introducing themselves as Nashville’s most compelling outliers. Kat is a Miami native and first-generation American from a Cuban family. Alex, who is of Puerto Rican descent, grew up in Northwestern Georgia and moved to Miami by middle school. Their paths crossed after Kat witnessed Alex singing one day at their church, and the two quickly forged an eternal bond after meeting up to collaborate. They appeared on American Idol individually before returning home to focus on writing and recording original music as a duo, and then made their way to Nashville in 2020, igniting a life-altering couple of years. Kat & Alex released their debut single “How Many Times” and its accompanying Spanish version in the fall of 2020, which amassed nearly 20 million streams independently. The following year the couple tied the knot, made their Grand Ole Opry debut, and released several new tracks to critical acclaim including “Heartbreak Tour,” which The New York Times dubbed as “an earnest power country slow-burner.” Named a 2022 Artist to Watch by Sounds Like Nashville and Country Now as well as a CMT “Listen Up” artist, the duo continues to make waves with their scorching signature style while resolutely representing Hispanic culture in country music with a sound that’s rich and soulful with velvet harmonies, pop-like vocal riffs, and hooky lyrics. Their latest releases, “I Want It All” and its accompanying Spanish version “Yo Quiero Amarte,” and “Let’s Find A Bar” along with its Spanish version, “Tomemos Un Trago,” set the tone of what’s to come later this year for the country music trailblazers.
