Katja Maria Slotte
Multipassionate Artist, Creative Mentor & Facilitator
Coaching, Mentoring & Creative Facilitation for singers and creatives ready to step into their artistry and turn vision into lived reality

Hi there, I’m Katja.
I am an artist, musician, and creative mentor whose work centers on artistic expression, vocal freedom, and sustainable creative practice. With over 25 years of international experience in singing, teaching, and performing, I support creatives in developing their artistic identity, deepening their relationship with their creativity and voice, and shaping their artistic life.
My approach combines curiosity-led creativity with strategic implementation, helping creatives turn their vision into lived reality and move beyond perfectionism into joyful, embodied self-expression.
Alongside my work as a coach and mentor for artists and creatives, I am also a vocal improviser, choir leader, and community builder.
By bringing improvisation and singing-based participatory art into cultural and professional contexts, I aim to strengthen connection, wellbeing, and collaboration, while expanding how creativity is experienced beyond individual performance into shared creation.
What artists are saying:
“Working with Katja was a delight. She helped me get clear on my desires, target audience, pricing, business structure, find balance in my artist vs coach life, and enjoy the process of being a creative entrepreneur. Her sharp analyses, soothing meditations, joyful presence, and accountability strategies will push you and your business forward in a gentle yet deeply transformative manner! Highly recommended!“
SASKIA BAK
“Coaching with Katja is one of the best decisions I ever made. The combination of working on the mental side as a creator as well as the technique of singing have completely turned my life around.”
JOSIE AKERS
“Katja approaches my out of the box ideas as something unique and positive, and that helps me embrace myself as the artist that I am. I have gained confidence, faith and courage in my work, vocal stability, as well as more structure in my songwriting work. The work has been life changing. Because of her, I look differently at my voice, my body and my art.”
NEPTHALIE VAN DER BORGHT
“Working with Katja, things shifted on many levels. I reconnected with playfulness, which spread out to areas in my whole life. My creative flow exploded, and I wrote two albums. My singing became gentler, more expressive and dynamic. I found my own sound that was aligned with the stories I want to tell. My vocal range expanded, and singing started feeling much easier and more connected. I learned to fully embrace my artist identity, expand my artistry, and let go of limiting beliefs around teaching. A lot of money blocks got cleared too, and my income doubled – while I’m doing way less than before!”
