Cincinnati’s KAYTIE has been writing songs since she was twelve, and somewhere along the way to crafting over 350 tracks, she’s figured out something most artists spend decades chasing: how to make personal pain feel universal. Heartbreak, anger, anxiety, if it’s uncomfortable, it’s probably in her music.

“When trust is shattered, the pieces cut deeper than any blade.”
“Evil Person” was born in November 2024, during what KAYTIE describes as a “rough spot” with her best friend. We’ve all been there: that moment when someone you’d trust with your life suddenly disagrees with everything you say, when conversations feel like minefields, when you realize the person sitting across from you isn’t who you thought they were. KAYTIE took that feeling and turned it into a dark-pop track that started with a single hook, posted it on TikTok, and watched people immediately get it. That’s when she knew she had something.
“Evil Person” moves from D minor to E minor, which might sound technical but really just means the tension builds exactly the way it does when a relationship is circling the drain. It’s an alternative pop song with teeth, the kind of song you play when you need to feel understood rather than comforted.
If you’ve ever had someone make you feel like you were the problem when all you did was expect basic decency, “Evil Person” is the song for you.
