That empathy extends to how she prepares for the booth. For KTK, the ritual before a set is as important as the set itself. Technical readiness matters, but so does grounding, focus, and intention.
“I always arrive fully prepared, not by plan- ning every track, but by making sure I’m ready in every sense when I step on stage. Technically, that means having all essentials with me: headphones, USBs (a few of them, just in case), my reverb if required, earplugs (which I’ve never played without for years, to protect my ears!), so I can feel secure and free to focus on the music. Mentally, I ground myself through small rituals, such as lighting incense sticks, hydrating, and feeling confi- dent in my skin and the clothes I wear. These details may seem subtle, but they shape my presence. If the set is very late (or early in the morning), I make sure to rest so my mind stays clear and not overstimulated from travel, which can often be intense. For me, preparation is not about control but about entering the booth centered, present, and open.”
Even with all that preparation, she leaves space for spontaneity. Planning the shape of a set does not mean closing off the dialogue with the audience, and for KTK, that dialogue is what makes each night unique.
“I definitely plan the direction of my sets, considering the party, the lineup, my play time, and the size of the stage. Each factor shapes the flow; a main-time set
intimate club is very different from a big- room closing performance. I also like to check the lineup in advance to sense the energy before and after me. This doesn’t mean I change my style; I always stay true to my sound. Once the initial direction is set, I plan the first few tracks to create a smooth entrance, then stay open and let the crowd guide me, turning the set into a shared experience. It kinda becomes a dialogue.”
SPIRITUALITY & FLOW
CREATIVE
For KTK, creativity is not something separate from her spiritual practice. The two are tightly woven, each informing and strengthening the other. In her world, sound is never random, and decisions in music or career always stem from intuition and alignment.
“As I mentioned, spirituality is definitely my guiding hand in many aspects of my work, both creatively and in the important choices I make. When producing music,
sounds that feel otherworldly and ethereal, not ordinary. I pay attention to every detail, from background noises to subtle elements, ensuring each has a precise place and purpose.”
“Spirituality also shapes my daily life. I follow a strict morning routine and small rituals that set the tone for the day, helping me stay grounded, sharp, and connected. It’s also the one thing that really grounds me during stressful phases, before a release or during intense touring. That doesn’t mean
I focus on in an
I never feel pressure; it’s about how quickly I can return to baseline and pull myself together. When I face important decisions, I try to listen to my gut and intuition. It’s not always perfect as the analytical mind or strong emotions can sometimes cloud judgment, but ultimately, intuition shows the way forward and helps me stay aligned with my values.”
That sense of presence has become her anchor. In an industry where distractions are constant, she frames success in terms of clarity of purpose and the discipline to protect it.
“As you said, the industry is full of distrac- tions, and presence becomes the anchor that keeps me connected to my vision. At the core,
how much do you want it, and what impact do you want to have? Once that’s clear, the decisions become simpler; you either let the noise take over or stay sharp and aligned. Of course, balance is key; the occasional fun distraction or moment of play is part of life, but it’s about not letting it swallow your essence.”
“A small personal story here: before I started touring full-time, I studied sports, was a personal trainer, and was very committed to fitness. Discipline, a sharp mind, focus, and presence were essential in training; one moment of inattention could literally break your bones. I think that’s why focus and presence feel so natural for me today; it has be come my default system. For me as an artist, mindfulness is the same anchor; it keeps me present, grounded, and able to channel my energy into everything I do.”
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Behind the high energy of her sets and pro- ductions lies a strict routine; discipline is essential for longevity. KTK treats her heal- th as an investment in creativity, knowing that maintaining balance throughout the week enables her to handle the chaos of touring.
“I believe the body is capable of balancing a lot, which is why I maintain a very healthy routine on normal weekdays. I wake up early, follow my morning rituals, eat nutri- tious meals, stay hydrated, read to stimulate my mind, meditate, do yoga and breathwork, and hit the gym from Monday to Thursday (sometimes Friday if I’m not traveling). I mix up my workouts, including weights, Pi- lates, and running, to challenge my body in different ways, and I go to bed by midnight. This keeps me balanced, strong, and menta- lly sharp, so that when touring, I can handle 2–3 days of less sleep and stress without feeling completely drained. On the road, I can push through because my default state is one of regeneration and resilience. After a tour, I need a day to reset, which I usually spend in the gym. I rarely skip Monday’s leg day. It’s tough, heavy, sometimes brutal, but I show up for myself and afterwards I feel like Wonder Woman hahaha.”
That discipline is not just physical. For KTK, protecting her mental space is just as cru- cial as maintaining her body, because both are directly tied to creative clarity.
122 it comes down to one question:
“For me, body and mind are unapologetica- lly intertwined. I strongly believe in the power of the mind over matter. Your body is only as strong as your mind allows it to be. Being aware of this connection means being inten- tional about what you feed your mind: how much you scroll, what content you consume, and where you place your attention. The dai- ly amount of energy we have, for most of us, is finite, and if it’s spent on distractions or things that don’t matter, there’s less availa- ble for creativity and decision making.”
“I’ve learned that cultivating this awareness requires constant practice and attention. The more consistently I work on protecting my mental space, the more I can channel my energy into creative pursuits and key deci- sions in my career. It’s a skill that develops gradually, but has a major impact on long- term performance and clarity.”
UPCOMING RELEASES
PROJECTS &
Even as she refines her sound and streng- thens her routines, KTK is already shaping her following creative chapters. She speaks about upcoming work with a mix of exci- tement and restraint, preferring to let the music reveal itself at the right moment but still dropping hints about what is to come.
“I have a few inspiring projects coming up and A LOT of new music I can’t wait to sha- re, though I like to let the music and magic reveal itself when it’s the right time. What I can share for now is a special collaboration with someone who inspires me as an artist and human and has also become a wonderful friend.
created a high BPM, high-energy track featuring very
elements and her unique vocals. I’ve been playing it for a few months, and the reaction on the dance floor has been incredible every time. I’m really excited to share it with you very soon!”
For KTK, however, the journey is not only about the next single or release. It is about remaining open to creativity in all its forms, while staying committed to the sound she wants to stand for.
“For now, music is definitely my main focus, developing my craft as much as possible and spending as much time as I can in the studio, challenging me in different ways to always keep my creative juices flowing. I mi- ght explore different genres just for fun, but my priority is to truly capture and shape the sound I want to stand for. That said, I belie- ve creativity unfolds in many forms, and as someone who constantly seeks new im- pulses, I’m certain my creativity will lead me wherever it wants to manifest. Music will always be my main ride, but I’m open to exploring how it can intersect with other crafts and experiences.”
“In the end, I see my artistic journey as an ongoing experiment, a space to play, feel, transform, and discover new ways to channel energy and emotion.”
