LIBERTY_C.
INSPIRING FEMALE EMPOWERMENT
Liberty_C. is the current Soul project of Austrian born singer, songwriter, and pianist Katja Cruz.
She speaks of the freedom and pleasure to be who we are, of inner richness, strong will and feminine dignity. She acts against violence against people and doesn’t like liars, she radiates between delicate sensuality and wild power.
Markus Adam’s captivating saxophone sound correlates with Cruz’s multi-faceted voice, underlines, makes you dream and fights in energetic solos with Andreas Sassi Krampl’s bass – all supported by Ernesto Grieshofer’s lively drum beat. As a live act Katja Cruz and her band perform on a very high level of hot energy, joy, smooth sensuality, and fiery wildness.
"Queen Of My Life" (released May 2022) got great features and international air play in the UK, US, Australia, Germany, Spain, and Austria.
Also, the New York - Los Angeles based Label The House of Static created and released an EDM Remix of the song - "Queen of My Life (House of Static Mix)" (released Sept 30th).

and has been slamming them together with a raw soulful energy
to create genre-defying, melodically empowered bodies of work…“
