Friend? I H8 U

Artist Profile

• Katsuki Shiota

  Born in 2008, Katsuki Shiota grew up in Amagasaki City, the holy ground of Downtown. Deeply influenced by BTS, Katsuki aspired to become an idol at age 13 and enrolled in a K-pop dance studio. He diligently practiced dance daily, striving toward his dream debut. At a time when his skills were plateauing, a friend he met at the studio suggested he try HIPHOP dance, introducing him to the genre for the first time. This led to a dramatic improvement in his abilities, and he began challenging himself at various auditions. However, in his third year of junior high school (age 15 at the time), he felt he had reached a limit on his idol path and became uncertain about his future direction. She briefly joined A-Team as an aspiring actor, but feeling it wasn't truly what she wanted, she left the agency after only four months. Later, influenced by Trainee A, she began listening to rappers like Jack Harlow, TYGA, Chris Brown, Migos, and Yellow Bucks, becoming deeply immersed in HIPHOP. In his first year of high school (age 16), Katsuki released **Body Language** on December 1, 2024. This drill track was heavily influenced by Central Cee, whom he intensely admired, and was inspired by the fact that his communication with his girlfriend at the time was in English. Though the song led to bullying at school, he overcame it with his innate resilience. Around this time, he discovered R&B through Chris Brown and Yo-sea, releasing **Friend? I H8 U** in 2025, a raw, unfiltered expression of his painful emotions at the time. His songs, singing about love, feelings, and dreams, are constantly evolving. He is an artist whose future activities demand close attention.
