French singer-songwriter Katia Belam delivers a heartfelt tribute to Los Angeles with her latest single, L.A You’ll Rise Again. Written and recorded from Paris, the song reflects her deep connection to the City of Angels and her sorrow over the devastating fires that have left a lasting impact. With this track, Katia channels her emotions into a powerful message of resilience, unity, and hope, reminding listeners of L.A.’s enduring spirit.
A musician with a global perspective, Katia hopes L.A You’ll Rise Again will resonate with media, radio stations, and music platforms that share a passion for Los Angeles and compelling storytelling. Through this release, she aims to not only spread her message of support but also further establish herself as an international artist with a deep appreciation for music’s ability to connect people across borders.
Born in Alès, in the Gard region of France, Katia’s love for music was nurtured from a young age. Growing up surrounded by melodies and harmonies, she was inspired by the powerful voices of Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, which she often sang alongside her three older sisters. Her fascination with international music became evident early on—by age 7, she was already singing in English, and by 9, she had mastered Andrea Bocelli’s Con te partirò in Italian. Recognizing her natural talent, her mother enrolled her in music school, where she quickly excelled in music theory and piano.
Her artistic evolution continued as she took up singing and dance lessons at 12, consistently reaching the finals of local competitions and earning praise for her diva-like vocal power. Influenced by Céline Dion and Lara Fabian, she developed a soul-stirring soprano voice capable of mesmerizing audiences.
Beyond her vocal prowess, Katia is a versatile artist with an insatiable curiosity for new sounds. Her music blends pop with oriental influences, a tribute to her Berber-Algerian heritage. Her career highlights include winning first place at the Grand Prix de la Chanson Alès-Cévennes in 2010, 2011, and 2012, as well as performing with orchestras and at private events across France.
With L.A You’ll Rise Again, Katia Belam cements her reputation as an artist unafraid to wear her heart on her sleeve, using her voice to uplift and inspire. As she continues her journey, she remains dedicated to sharing deeply personal, globally relevant music—one song at a time
