shine IS OUT NOW
“‘Shine’ is about embracing who you are after being with someone who wanted to keep your relationship a secret. I remember being in the closet and having so much fear of losing relationships, my way of life and my support system if I came out.
But when you keep yourself a secret, no one knows the real you. It can feel like the ones closest to you only love the person you’re pretending to be. There’s always fear that if you show them the truth, they’ll reject you and you’ll lose everything.
If you feel this way, ‘Shine’ is my message to you. Embracing who you are is challenging, but it’s worth it. You’ll find the people that love you for who you are, and they’ll help you love yourself.”
MORE FROM CATOIRE
Armed with a colorful, witty personality and vocal chops that would give Sam Smith a run for his money, Nick Catoire is ready to share his story of growing up as a closeted kid in a trailer in Louisiana, surrounded by drug addiction and bigotry.
His mission - celebrate queer culture and share his wild ride of a life.
Riffy, soulful, and a little bit extra, Catoire takes influence from the pop hooks of Sia and the heartfelt vocals of Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse to create music that’s magically upbeat. The New York City based artist uses powerful and relatable lyrics about isolation, heartbreak and empowerment to deliver hooks that won’t get out of your head.
