Who is a ShyGirl?
A ShyGirl is a creative and passionate music-lover and maker who, for a variety of reasons, may have been reluctant to share or immortalize their shoebox treasures gathering dust under the bed. Maybe they’re musically-inclined but not recording yet or had negative interactions with gatekeeping, feeling intimidated by gear dudes, etc.
We organize and accommodate improvisation and chance operations with a dynamic rotation of ShyGirls members. We record, mix and release the sessions on bandcamp.
Latest performance at Casa del Popolo
Kate performed a solo set of some ShyGirls Collective music and her own original tunes at the iconic Casa del Popolo venue in Montreal on June 16, 2025 organized by Coco. She opened for artists, 4nouki and Coco Only. Visuals by Jean-Guillaume Bastien.
