Kate Grahn has two songs with over a million streams — and no, it wasn’t because she hacked the algorithm. In this episode of They’re Good at That Sh*t, we talk about what actually helped her songs break through, why she’s comfortable stepping back from social media, and how building the right team made all the difference. From going viral on TikTok (sometimes unintentionally), to getting hate-bombed by incels, to learning stage presence through acting classes and live reps — Kate gets real about the highs and lows of building a music career as an independent artist.

🎧 We talk:

  • Why Spotify playlisting is mostly a lottery
  • Getting discovered through live shows
  • Building performance chops without burning out
  • Investing in mental health and marketing
  • Taking the pressure off yourself on social media
  • How to riff like Ariana Grande (seriously)
