Human Interest shakes up the music world with a philosophy that’s as unconventional as their origins. With a sound rooted in authenticity rather than perfection, they redefine what it means to be an artist.

“The song already exists. My job is to find it,” muses Cat Harrison, one-half of the creative core behind Human Interest.

It’s a belief that shapes their unique approach to music, where artistry outweighs technical prowess. This East London quartet isn’t about crafting pop hits; they’re on a quest to tap into the depths of human emotion and extract pure, resonant art.

  • Chance encounters shaping destiny
  • Embracing imperfection and vulnerability

Born in Margate and refined during London’s lockdown, Human Interest is fueled by the synergy of Cat and Tyler Damara Kelly—whose collaboration sparked from a fetish club WhatsApp group.

Cat’s musical journey wasn’t textbook. “I got guitar lessons at school but I always found it really fucking difficult—I think it’s because I have weird thumbs,” he jests. But this didn’t deter him; music, for Cat, was an art form where precision wasn’t mandatory for success.

Their upcoming EP, ‘Smile While You’re Losing (An Audio Guide To Wellness)’, epitomizes their ethos—a mix of raw anxiety and optimistic escapism.

Equally important to their narrative is the journey beyond England—a serendipitous tour in France orchestrated by a label owner they met at a house party. It’s these unpredictable yet fortuitous moments that define Human Interest.

In their songwriting, there’s a delicate dance between systematic expression and the freedom of unbridled creativity. “Happiness is a spectrum,” observes Tyler, highlighting the band’s grasp on the realism of human emotion. “It’s understanding that everything ebbs and flows.”

Looking ahead, they set sight on modest ambitions: to alleviate loneliness and craft moments of connection through music.

As they prepare for the recording session of their debut album in France, they reflect on their multifaceted lives—from dog walking to freelance journalism—all converging to fuel their artistry.

“We’re dysfunctional humans just trying our best to keep going,” Cat Harrison sums up, a sentiment that resonates with anyone striving within the chaos of life.
