THEESatisfaction is an American R&B/hip hop duo based in Seattle consisting of rapper Stasia "Stas" Irons and singer Catherine "Cat" Harris-White.
History
Stasia was born and raised in Tacoma, while Cat was born and raised in Hawaii and Seattle.[1] The duo met in 2008 while attending the University of Washington. Stas, the rapper of the duo, frequented Cat's open mic performances. Stas recalls, "I was attracted to Cat's voice, I would go to the open mic and close my eyes and zone out whenever she sang. I finally had the courage to speak to her… it took a while."[2]
In 2011, Sub Pop Records signed the duo after hearing their guest track on Shabazz Palaces' 2011 album Black Up.[3]
The duo released their debut full length album, awE NaturalE, on Sub Pop Records March 27, 2012.[4] They released their second album, EarthEE, on February 24, 2015.
