HANDINHAND is Mike Genato from Central Jersey and Katy Walker from Brooklyn. The deejay/production/songwriting duo met in Miami in 2003 and soon after began experimenting with different sounds and musical arrangements. Their songs/compositions/tracks take on many forms but above all they evoke a strong emotional response. Their first album, Green Streets, is a compilation of their favorite collaborations over the past four years. Katy likes to intertwine dub music with moody cinematic themes while Mike adds a soulful/pop/electronic flavor and gritty production techniques.
Their inspiration varies from Radiohead to Apparat, The Bird and the Bee, soul music, film soundtracks and old-school production techniques. Katy also deejays and works with many forms of digital media while Mike composes for picture, has released and licensed hundreds of tracks and is involved in several other music projects. After the release of the album they will continue to focus on writing songs for new artists.
