Be My Guest

German-born Katja Green is a vocalist whose sound moves confidently between hard rock, modern metal, emotional ballads, punk, new wave energy and the storytelling warmth of country.

For the past decade, Katja has been the chief songwriter and voice of the Stuttgart-based group ICEMO. Parallel to this, she also fronts 2nd Crash, a long-established rock/metal combo founded, among others, by S.G. Stoner.

Katja Green is an artist who refuses to be boxed into a single genre. She lives through lyrics, emotion and storytelling, and that is what makes her a unique and compelling voice in every project she touches.

How It Came Together

“V2 first approached Katja with an invitation to provide vocals on ‘Fast, Loud, Dirty Rock and Roll’ — see separate track listing — but when we heard this track of hers, in German, ‘Ich Hier’, we were knocked out.

Being cheeky, we asked if we could record an English version with her singing. We were delighted when she said yes.

We recorded our version of the backing track and sent it to Katja, who then went into Tonstudio in Marburg, Germany, to record her vocals. She did both tracks in the same session.

Then it was a case of back to us for the final mix and mastering.”
