Artist Spotlight Series: MUNNYCAT

Welcome to our Artist Spotlight Series, a Q&A where we delve into the sync journeys of the exceptional musicians who make up the Track Club and Marmoset roster. At Track Club's parent company, Marmoset, we believe in amplifying the voices of historically underrepresented artists and curating the best human-powered music to meet the evolving needs of our users.

With your Track Club subscription, you’re not just accessing high-quality, custom-tailored music; you’re directly supporting the incredible talents and hard work of our musicians.

This first Q&A is also available to read in our 2024 Transparency Report.

Who are you?

Katianne and Khaled Tabbara aka: K808 and Khaledzou co-writers/co-producers of indie pop/alt-hiphop band MUNNYCAT.

How did you hear about Marmoset?

We met Marmoset at a songwriting festival outside of Los Angeles where we were showcasing. 

Describe Marmoset in 3 words.

Supportive, tight-knit, collaborative.

How has working with Marmoset impacted your life/business/organization?

We always say ‘we make things for people who make things’. It’s the biggest honor and it makes us so happy that our art inspires other people’s creativity.  Whether it’s a choreographer who feels a new subdivision in our song and it makes their body move, a film-maker/show-runner who hears our song and knows that it will perfectly convey or support their vision, or a video editor that uses our song and it cuts perfectly to the rhythm.  Marmoset helps us connect with all these creatives that might need just what we make. We can focus on being creative and the marmo-crew uses their talents to get our songs in the right hands. 

We live in Los Angeles now, but grew up in a town in Ohio where there aren’t really a lot of opportunities to make a living as an artist. That didn’t stop us from making music every single day, but we always had to find alternate ways of making money to support our desire to create. Being able to pay our bills through the fruits of our creativity is quite literally the dream we had growing up making music. Now that we do that - we create the new goal of total world domination. =)

What is the placement or project you’ve done with Marmoset you’re most proud of?

We reallllllly loved when our song ‘howya like me now?’ was used in a Crest Whitening Emulsions TV and TikTok campaign. Besides the fact that it was viewed by millions of people we couldn’t easily reach on our own, we were so excited to see what thousands of Tik-Tokers were inspired to do with it when it went viral. We were just smiling ear-to-ear, endlessly scrolling and seeing all these cute people being cute to our little song.
