We caught up with emerging artist Catching Cairo to see what’s been happening for her since graduating from her Masters at Tileyard Education back in 2018.
Catching Cairo (previously known as Tiffani Juno), has barely had a moment of stillness, with offers coming in for creative collaborations regularly, she hardly has the time to take-up every offer.
Catching Cairo is North-London based DreameR&B artist, she describes this genre as;
“a subgenre that encapsulates elements of a stylistic, lyrical, contextual approach to music, to create my unique sound through using elements of R&B, Soul, bass and reggae”
Before her solo artistry, she began making waves on the dance music circuit, songwriting and collaborating with many artists and scoring notable releases on Indie Labels Rinse, Maison Kitsune, Chase And Status’ label MTA and SHY FX’s Digital Soundboy.
Wasting no time, shortly after completing her Masters, Catching Cairo became part of a project with 9 other young women curated by Sian Anderson (1xtra) in collaboration with Warner Music and the Mayor Of London. The project ‘Nexxt Steps‘ was created to celebrate 100 years that women have had the right to vote in the UK. Over the course of a series of weekends, the women created an EP with the theme #BehindEveryGreatCity, finishing in a showcase in XOYO back in November 2018.
Catching Cairo has also enjoyed some great success on her collaborations, she featured on ‘Supernova’, a release with Hybrid Minds, and in just 5 months the track has hit over 623,000 streams on Spotify. In fact, between both her Spotify accounts, she has accumulated over 5 million streams! Catching Cairo is also being managed by Adam Nash, at Wave Divergence Management, and she assured us that she has some “promising collaborations on the horizon”.
We asked Tiff what’s the biggest thing she’s learnt over the past year, she said:
“I’ve learned so much, I’ve learned I needed to push myself. I can get the things I want but I have to put the work in.”
We feel 2019 is going to be a very important year for Catching Cairo. You can ‘catch’ Catching Cario if you were lucky enough to get tickets to the sold-out show with Hybrid Minds at XOYO on Feb 8, or follow her on Instagram for updates on her upcoming shows.
