Folk songwriter and poet Josh Nkhata—known musically as Kata—sits down to talk about the emotional architecture behind his work: how helplessness becomes the spark for creation, why metaphor matters on TikTok, and what it means to write songs that document the present tense in real time.
In this conversation, Josh opens up about his shift from theater kid to political songwriter, the role of vulnerability in crafting genuine apologies (as explored in his song "Apologizing to Dragonflies"), and how he structures songs around emotional arguments rather than line-by-line improvisation. He also discusses the challenge of balancing sincerity with humor, the universality of feelings, and why he believes his voice—and everyone's—matters right now.
We also explore his life beyond the screen: teaching K–12 students in Chicago museums, swimming in the summer with his partner, and attempting (with mixed success) to write poetry just for himself.
