ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Kutie is an electrifying alternative rock band out of Clovis, California, blending raw emotion, heavy guitar-driven sound, and hook-driven songwriting into a sound that hits both hard and wide. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Ellie Gonzalez, backed by multi-instrumentalist Gavin Gonzalez, and driven by lead guitarist Jackson Martinez, the band delivers a dynamic mix of energy, attitude, and authenticity that’s quickly turning heads beyond their hometown. Pulling influence from bands like Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, and Pierce the Veil, Kutie sits at the intersection of alternative rock, pop punk, and emo—balancing melodic accessibility with an aggressive edge. Their music combines heartfelt lyrics with explosive instrumentation, creating songs that resonate just as much in headphones as they do live on stage. Since forming in 2023, Kutie has built a reputation for high-energy performances across California’s Central Valley and Los Angeles, playing notable venues and festivals including House of Blues Anaheim, The Redwood (DTLA), Universal Bar & Grill in Hollywood, the iconic Whisky a Go Go, and the legendary Viper Room. They’ve shared stages with national touring acts like Eyes Set to Kill, The Dollyrots, and Lightworker, while continuing to grow a loyal and rapidly expanding fanbase. With their debut EP already making noise, Kutie continues to build momentum with their upcoming single “Bloodmoon,” releasing April 15, marking the next chapter in their evolution and expanding their sound with even more intensity and edge. Positioned at the intersection of nostalgia and modern alternative, Kutie is emerging as a serious contender in the next wave of rock—refusing to stay in one lane and bringing a fresh but familiar energy to every stage they hit.

as a band now we are just having fun and writing songs we want to hear

We would book a show with all our friends bands at a cool location and have a fun show with all our friends

Most of our newer unreleased songs that are not out yet are rooted in deeper emotions than our original EP.
4. “What emotion or mindset do you want people to feel when they hear your music?”
Just hoping people have a something to relate to and have a good time listening.
5. “What separates you from every other artist in your lane right now?”
Were not constricted to one genre. Many of our newer songs branch our further from our original sound and EP. We just write what were into.
BONUS. “Say someone just became a fan of you—what 1 song should they listen to first and why?”
We think Half Way or The Exit would be a good place to start. Both are heavy and rooted in our og sound.
