From a Quiet Town to a Powerful Presence: Katerina Nicole Has Arrived
Hailing from the small town of Summertown, BC, independent artist Katerina Nicole is making a bold entrance into the heavier realms of music. Drawing from an eclectic mix of influences—Celine Dion, Paramore, and Lamb of God among them—Katerina has crafted a sound that’s as emotionally resonant as it is sonically fierce.
Before embracing this darker, more dynamic direction, Katerina had her roots in EDM and pop. But during the pandemic, something shifted—an inner awakening sparked by heavier music led her to explore new territory. That transformation is now fully realized on her debut EP, Serene In Violent Oceans, a release that blends beauty and brutality while showcasing her power as both a vocalist and songwriter.
In our conversation, Katerina reflects on the production process behind the EP, the collaborators who helped bring her vision to life, and the personal breakthroughs that continue to shape her work. With a follow-up EP already in the works, it’s clear she’s only just getting started.
Tackling themes of emotional hardship, trauma, and resilience, Katerina channels her experiences into cathartic and carefully crafted lyrics. For her, music is not just an art form—it’s a therapeutic outlet, and one she’s using to connect with others on a deeply human level.
Independent artists deserve the spotlight, and Katerina Nicole is a shining example of why. Serene In Violent Oceans is available now on all streaming platforms—don’t miss it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
